    G43 DUV44 All Matching

    I'm only really familiar with AC and bcd G43s. Did duv number the carriers on the top like that? I'm used to seeing it on the side.

    DDL 40 Pickup - Matching?

    Ok so my initial impressions were close. Seems likely that the mystery number is probably 8. I would think it would be less likely for it to be a correct scabbard with only 1 digit off. Seems I did alright for $80, now to find a frog for it. Thanks for the insight!

    DDL 40 Pickup - Matching?

    Went to a local gun show today and found/picked this up in hopes to pair it with my bolt m/m 42 1940. Blade looks good, unsharpened, scabbard and bayo both have e/883 Waa and both are marked ddl 1940 and ddl 40. Its really hard to tell because of some pitting in the serial number area of the...

    G43 Scam

    If you press the target next to the sellers name in his profile it will tell you he isn't even in FL. The IP is showing Austin, Texas. 99% of the time if its too good to be true, well you know the rest. Gone are the days where people don't know the value of things. If someome can make a sale...

    G43 Mag falling out when shooting

    A bunch of bent M1 Op-rods from factory 30-06 would beg to differ. Ive seen what anything other than M2 ball can and will do and its not pretty. Ive also seen people use and a big market for "adjustable" Garand gas plugs. Is that any different?

    Help filling gaps, s/243g death head East German rebuild?

    The fact that the barrel markings are so faint compared to the FrankenStamps is a dead giveaway, too sharp they stick out like a sore thumb. That receiver ring was ground or sanded hardcore before that bubba blue job was applied. Look at the 3 he is melting... :( Should be a hard pass imo

    G43 Mag falling out when shooting

    I only said "hundreds" because I have no idea, could thousands down the pipe and I'd never know. You and me both, I just pick and choose what guns to put those hundreds of rounds through. Not every gun that is shot has to be rode hard for it to be a candidate to shoot in the first place....

    G43 Mag falling out when shooting

    I said it once, ill say it again, these guns have made it 75 years without self destructing as you so aptly put it. I can tell my personal G43 was shot hundreds of rounds before I even got it, and thats without the shooters kit and most likely high power heavy ball. Just going by splashing on...

    RTI K98ks are back..... Check out those hand selects...

    Its not definitive, but here were some reviews I SS'd from their site back when they were previously in stock in May. The other screenshot is from today, as you can see the only review left is the 5 star from "Seth." Make your own mind up.

    RTI K98ks are back..... Check out those hand selects...

    Just noticed K98ks are back on the menu at RTI, must have found more under a pile of goat droppings. Seems this time they have decided to have certain codes listed for different prices. Theyve also decided they are worth $100 more today than a few months ago. Sad to see people are still buying...

    For Your Viewing Pleasure: Mint G43 bcd "b" Block

    Although I wouldn't shoot this example, bcds are not potential bombs, the sabotage was things like undrilled gas ports or incorrectly installed gas blocks. Recievers were subcontracted from St. Etienne and most everything else was subcontracted as well. These guns have made it 75+ years, most...

    Laminate stock stripped buttplate screw hole

    Toothpick worked like a charm. Seems to be being pretty tightly. Will update on how it holds up. Thanks guys!

    Laminate stock stripped buttplate screw hole

    I read online about epoxy then just screwing into said epoxy. Also saw one where you make a wood glue slurry with sawdust then screw into that. Im not sure whata im gonna do yet. I just want it to hold, more worried about losing the original screw.

    Laminate stock stripped buttplate screw hole

    Definitely not ideal. I don't think its in a high stress location though, so that's the only real silver lining.

    Laminate stock stripped buttplate screw hole

    Pictures. Upon closer inspection it actually looks like someone before me tried there hand at fixing it. See the glue at the crack. Crack I'm guessing caused by overtightening the screw?
