Many over here might had anyway read my old thread on this same rifle over in the sniper section: http://www.k98kforum.com/showthread.php?20564-AC43-G-41-trials-sniper-rifle
Recently a friend of mine asked me for a total of the rifle showing it with the original mount I was able to find, and I noticed I never did a detail shot showing the full rifle with this mount. So while having a few moments off today I took the rifle from its display and placed it in front of the DSLR for some pictures, which I decided I would be sharing on this subforum as well.
In the meantime I've also been told the Austrian Army has one of these rifles, complete with mount in their reference collection - I however did not get to see this one yet. I'm curious to find out more on it since the cad scope that is sitting in my mount was added by me and it is so far still unknown to me what the original scope in this mount was.
For those which have never seen it I would also recommend to take out "The German Sniper" by Senich and look up page 320 - he pictures G.41(W) serial 325a with the same scope base, but sans mount and cheek pad. I tried to picture why the cheek pad is necessary (and yes, I know the cad scope is sitting not properly alinged in the mount).
I'm curious to find out if Darrin Weaver will feature more on these rifles in his upcoming book, but the single time I corresponded with him it seemed there was no interest in these.
