Local gun store is selling a ZF-41 "Sniper" rifle.
The rifle itself is obviously a Russian Capture, with a very ratty looking ZF-41 scope, but it has the "Numrich" ZF-41 rail that replaces the rear sight ramp.
The mount on the scope is marked DUV, serial number 23173C, with a 214 Waffenamt
The rifle's receiver is a DUV 42, also with a 214 Waffenamt.
This rail insert is also marked with a 214 Waffenamt.
And of course the rifle has a "unicorn" price. But just because you taped a horn onto a donkey and painted it white, you still don't have a unicorn...
Anyhow, my question is, has a definitive answer to the existence of these "Numrich" rails ever been found? Did the Germans actually create and use such a component during the war?
