Glad I asked as this has been informative and interesting. If I may, the opinions range from, "The gun is ruined and will never be anything but a shooter", to, "It doesn't bother me a bit." The majority being that it devalues the rifle some, and how much depends on the type of cut and the...

So let's just say the value of a certain G43 was $3000 with an original stock. Identical rifle with a duffle cut stock would be discounted what, if any? Thanks for replies, just trying to learn some things.

I guess the next question is does it have any value as it is, or does the strap being broken pretty much trash the whole thing?

Ok, 'nother newbie question. The ZF4 scope and mount I had pictured with my ac/45 K43 recently had a scope lens cover with it. Unfortunately, the objective lens cap's leather strap was broken off right where it was riveted onto the cap due to age/wear. Does a guy try and fix that? Leave it...

Definitely after, you can even see little drill chatter marks. Though for the life of me I can't figure out why it would be done? It screams Bubba, but why would someone ruin a perfectly good gas cylinder as they are not cheap as you know, to just add a couple of holes based on what? A cylinder...

Well this one is a four hole, no clue who, or why? Looks like a lot of trouble for a rifle which was not shot much, or at all? Very odd to me, but I've seen a lot of odd pertaining to old guns.

OK. Trying to do right by you fellows and this rifle and I have a final couple of requests to fulfil. I don't really understand the photo posting here, but will attempt to get the shots I took today to load here in the thread. I have pics of the hammer, bolt face, the firing pin carrier(?) and...

Firstly, thanks again for the kind comments and expertise from everyone. I am away from home until tomorrow, so I will check the bolt face, hammer and firing pin housing then. No accessories in the butt compartment. Can't have everything I guess ;). Now, a couple of questions about the current...

Thanks guys. I never want to be disappointed to find out I have a collectable piece, but I was looking forward to shooting one of these. I'll put this one away and continue looking. I feared I might have over paid, but apparently I might not have. I'll look for other markings and take some pics...

A little info on me (not that it matters, but just an explanation) I have many posts on other sites and have had a fairly advanced Mauser collection. I do not have a significant number of WWII weapons in general though. I have always desired a G/K43 though. I got a scope years ago and had a...
