Hello,

Who makes a repro scope rail or does anyone have a extra laying around. Bought a box full of parts. I have a full reciever and bolt but it is missing a rail for the scope. Any suggestions..thanks
 
I’m not sure of your meaning and I assume you are referring to a G/K43. If you have a G/K43 receiver then it either has a integral scope rail that is in the receiver forging OR you have a receiver that has had the rail milled off. I have both types in my modest collection; the typical railed G/K43 and the far less common variant with the milled off scope rail. To my knowledge you don’t simply “add” a rail....but I might be misunderstanding your question. If a G41, well, that’s a whole new topic.

It's a G43. Well it's a DUV44 reciever so I wonder if someone sliced it at one point? Or maybe it never had one. It's a A block DUV44

Might want to post some pics. I have a Walther ac44 n-block with the milled off rail.

the rail show up missing on receivers that either had a flaw in the rail, or the rifle did not meet the required accuracy during testing. These are normally found on Walther produced rifles , never saw one on a BLM g/k43.

Theory is that if the rifle did not meet the accuracy requirements to be issued a sniper variant, then the rail was milled off to prevent scope from being attached. I'm not certain this was the reason but it is a theory or speculation.
