A bit of a shot in the dark... I'm searching for G43 9588 o. It was reported in Claus's serial number study.
I've reached out to Claus and have talked with the gentleman who supposedly reported it. Unfortunately, I have reached a dead end. There is a chance it is somewhere in the...
Exactly. I don't doubt the originality but I do worry how it will affect a sale if I ever decide to part with it at some point down the road. If something is not "text book" people become leary. Hopefully it will not affect value. I do wish it had been stated in the ad but I doubt it would have...
Yeah surprises of any kind are no fun. Definitely not visible or called out in the auction photos.
Having said that, I still think it is the original numbered lug.
Received the bcd I recently purchased off of gunbroker. Going over everything and noticed one of the locking lugs is double numbered. The number on top appears to be 9636 and is lined out with the correct number underneath. I've formed my own opinion on this but I'm curious to see what...
Thanks guys, glad to hear no one else spotted any issues. Looking forward to getting this one... Has that untouched look and a little combat wear which I really like. I will post up photos when it comes in.

I wish these were readily available and sold as stated reproductions. It would be nice to have a repro mount that doesn't look like complete crap like the numrich mounts do.
Tough to tell from the photos but this rifle looks refinished to me. Barrel pin on left side has been messed with so the barrel has been out at some point. The catch for the dust cover has been re-crimped in a non factory manner. Grips look like modern replacements, but again, tough to tell from...
Not something I had any control over... The rifle was registered as xxxxai and that is what they had in their database. They requested photos of the SN and once seeing the /45 at the end of the SN they required that the registration in their database be changed to reflect that. Which again, is...
I submitted my form 4 in June and I am still waiting. The examiner tells me there is nothing he can do, they just give me the run around. I was told they had to update their database because the date on the rifle wasn't included as a part of the registered SN. They requested a photo of the...
