Was looking at a bcd last night and noticed something I had not before. The extractor hardness test mark was there 6 times? Seems a little odd.

44 grains IMR4064 with a 150gr is my favorite, accurate and does not beat it up. 45 grains of 4895 works fairly well too. Both are tame. 4895 seems to beat the casing less but that may be a fluke.

If he dislikes it so much why own one?

What differences are there between the G41 and G43 milled cover? Just curious. Never looked at two side by side to compare.

Melt it down out of mercy.

It should be melted down out of mercy.

Milled bolt housing and solid knob bolt carrier. Could be tragic loss of an early one.

Cool gun refinished or not. AC41 is a cool code and these were among the best made P38s with markings all over. The AC on the trigger guard stands out when comparing against others.

Refinished for sure. AC41 should have a gloss finish. It is a first variation with the AC on the trigger guard, this dissappears shortly after A block I think, perhaps B I need to look it up

You may think to get a spare bolt carrier before shooting too. Looks like that is numbered and the early type without the rib and solid handle. The rib gets added to help with strength and would be a crime to damage it. They are fun but money pits. Sorry about your stock... that sucks.

That is a fine late war example you have.

These are a fun variation. Most any other weapon you cant pin down where it was on a certain date. These you can for sure though knowing they were on the factory floor. Kind of essential if collecting P38s. A fine addition you have there!

Thanks! Will need to find a smoke grenade at some point. You know how this goes, I wanted one for the sake of having one way back when when I started collecting. Then you kind of want a WW1 example and it grows from there.

These are my grenades. Not especially greatest condition but a fun assortment.

They should typically be on BLM made DUV or QVE rifles. There is a possible exception on Walther's 1944 K block, but it may be a fluke. It is not believed AC or BCD should have Durofol. They used the wood version also, so they are not especially rare exactly, just a cool little difference.

Another very cool rifle! I like the backwards 45 bolt carrier.

Cool rifle! Which magazine codes are they?

Looks like a fine addition to an impressive display.

Space to display is limited, so I rotate headgear now and again. Cool contrast and compare for your viewing pleasure.

Like this, before the G.43
