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...

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...

Just picked up these two at auction. Not normally something I collect, these are definitely the earliest rifles I own now. I was originally going after a G43 but walked away with these instead! Both are matching and appear unissued.

I lucked in to this one, just picked this K43 up from the vet's great grandson. Completely untouched K43 ac44 "q" block... one of the last K43's made in 44'. The rifle is all matching with nice wood chatter, stock proofs and mottled phosphate. The internals are like new... it doesn't appear to...

I just picked up this "attic" find byf44 b block. Are unnumbered barrel bands possible? The stock is 135 proofed but is unserialized as well. It is otherwise all matching and correct...

I have an MP38 that needs to have the barrel re-staked-- it came loose under fire:googlie. I have since realized the two crimped spots on the crush washer between the barrel nut and the sling ring are mostly flat and and need to be re-crimped to help keep things tight. What is the best way to...

MP38 Full Auto Range Video After about a 6 month wait I finally received my C&R MP38. I took it out to the range a few weekends ago and had some fun putting together some footage of the gun in action (including some slow mo shots of the action cycling). The gun fired flawlessly and a buddy and...

After a 5 month wait, I just received my C&R MP38. I'm looking forward to getting it out to the range, however I noticed my barrel nut was only hand tightened. Is re-tightening this as much as possible by hand sufficient for firing or does the barrel nut need to be really cranked down tight...

My primary range rifle has been one of my G43's and it's always been a good performer but I've always struggled getting a scope rig to run properly on it. After a lot of trial and error I've finally found a tight fitting repro mount that holds zero even after being removed and reinstalled...

Well I'm officially out of my 8mm ammo. I burned through the last of my Romanian last weekend-- which has always functioned 100% reliably in my G43's and G41's. I would like to move to non-corrosive ammo. I noticed the cheapest thing out there currently is new production steel cased 170gr...

I have a G43 ac44 that I use as my primary range rifle with a ZF4 rig. It is one of the most accurate rifles I own, but the trigger is VERY mushy when compared to all if my other G43's. Instead of a crisp break like my other G43's it just creeps forever and a day. I realize there is an...

I just walked into my local guns shop this afternoon to pick up a bore brush and saw the muzzle of this rifle peeking out behind the counter when I went to check out. Apparently it had been taken in a trade earlier that morning and the shop hadn't even entered it in their system yet. Needless to...

Hey guys, I'm currently looking at a C&R MP38. The gun is almost completely mismatched but is made up of original MP38 parts. The gun is a "27" marked Erma gun dated 1940. My question is... shouldn't the receiver be numbered forward of the mag well? There is no number on the receiver aside...

Thought I would post up some photos of an early G41W "push button" I picked up not too long ago. It's the 3,453rd G41 off the line, all matching. The wrist was cracked through at some point and repaired and someone put some black paint on the butt plate that I still need to remove... nice tiger...

Hey guys, I was wondering if I could get yall's opinion on the barrel assembly (barrel, gas block, front sight post, etc.) on this MP44. Does it appear refinished? It appears a darker, duller finish than what I have seen on my other past rifles, then again this gun is a much later fxo assembled...

Hey all, I received these MP44 loaders and takedown tools with a bunch of other parts. I don't know much about these. Any idea whether or not they are original or repro? I'm assuming the 'in the white tool' on the left is a repro considering it's too big to fit in an MP44 hand guard but I'm not...

I have a G41 ac43 with a nice unsanded stock but for whatever reason it has accumulated quite a lot of dirt and oil over the years and has developed somewhat of a glossy or shiny surface. Is there a safe way to clean it up a bit or should I just leave it as is? I had considered a light wipe down...

I have a 660 40' dated lower with a dent on the back. Does anyone have any suggestions on ways I might be able to remove it?

I have a new MP44 in the works which at some point in time has been painted black on all of the metal surfaces. There is also a thin coat of what appears to be some sort of black paint on the walnut stock. Any ideas on the safest way to remove this while preserving the wood underneath? I have...

Here's one of my favorite rifles. Finally had the chance to take it out and snap a few photos.
