Scope legit. Scope Caps legit Mount looks good but the finish is throwing me off and the crisp acid etched numbers don't look quite right?? Bands look good, I have an LSR mount with a snapped band like that. Looking forward to getting the opinion of other members.

IMHO - look legit. There seems to be far fewer reproduction square mount brackets versus round - likely because they are earlier production and a little scarcer. Hard part now will be finding original rings/screws. Scopes are pretty common still and honestly prices have not really changed...

Good eye and thank you for the information that everyone has provided. As mentioned above and as promised I originally posted this scope to the Trader with a link to this discussion so that a buyer would have full disclosure and knowledge of what they were purchasing. 24 hours later I listed...

Jim Allen - did some work for me on a bolt carrier years ago (2017). I don't know if he still does G/K43 repairs or if this email is up to date. jallen4ja@att.net

Looks like roughly 4.5mm Pics as requested.

oof.....

I will get some pics as requested.

I had this scope on an LSR clone. Sold the rifle a year ago and the poor kid couldn't afford the package with the scope, as a result here it is. Ajack 4x90 Scope with 'blue' + Serial # 50077 Bought from an optic dealer from Kassel Germany - city that still produces optics and produced optics...

Find some pictures online for your gunsmith to reference, so he completes the work in the manner you would like.

I just had my project finished about a week ago - turned out well and he took more time and did nicer work than many originals (usually heavily modified the bases for scope clearance or placed the mounts so you could not use stripper clips when the scope was off etc). Sadly, my guy is north of...

I would lean towards the base and scope being original but likely the scope was added to this base post war. Base: The 359 waffen amt, acid etched serial number, rough finish with filing look pretty good for a squared edge base. Rings/screws questionable. Would want to see the back of the...

The G/K43's were cursed by a duffle cut as there was no way to hide it. With K98's, clever GI's made the cut under the band but there are lots of examples where the cut was made in other areas. Even though this is likely a legit duffle cut, without a labeled take home box/crate or capture...

With the wrist cut 'duffle cut' this is almost certainly an undocumented and untouched vet bring back rifle and an excellent find. Looks like the mostly some gunk and surface rust and hopefully no pitting. I would generally clean and treat the metal with a mix of Ballistol/pinetar to remove...

Correct - he has had health problems and even had to cease production for a time period. As a result, he is extremely backed up. He told me a few months ago that he has resumed a reduced rate of production with a huge back log.

That handgun and a Lahti are the two pieces I never managed to pick up before the handgun freeze on my side of the border. Those Norge 1911's are very hard to find in Canada but I have eyed quite a few for sale in the US. Nice to have both!!! Awesome.

Hard primers for sure. Most of the Yugo ammunition available on my side of the border was the MG ammo - so loaded a little hotter than standard rounds. Fine in a K98 or MG34 but maybe not in a G/K43.

Very cool! I very much enjoyed my BD38 when they were legal in Canada. Sadly 'bought back' - aka confiscated along with the other 310x imported into the country. No recoil whatsoever!!!! Fired with an open bolt - hence why banned - too easily convertible to full auto. Do these fire with an...

I would say at least $500 but possible more. These repurposed scopes generally go for less than untouched ones that are not lined out. If you had the original Czech Mount they sometimes get a premium value.

US pricing? Way too much. If someone is patient and willing to dig hard, a sanded rifle like that can be found for 3K USD if not cheaper, reproduction mount $150 USD and a decent original ZF4 can still be found for a little as $500 USD. Total max: $3700 IMHO. Now if your north of the border...

Lined out dow (Meopta) Czech Re-Issue scope. Where it has been milled seems to have milled out and obliterated the Post-War Czech Markings and Lion Proof - why? No idea. You find many Czech lined out scopes, some are just lined out and some have an additional serial number and Post-War Czech...
