Yes. That's why I was asking about the numbers. Appears a hand numbered mount and it's clearly serialized on the rear (rifle number) and appears serialized (scope) on the front end.

I snagged mine long ago here in the trader. Mine isn't that minty one on Gunbroker recently. That was armenjs

I'd definitely take a chance on that one. Images aren't conclusive but what those images show is good and nothing in those images suggests the opposite. Go for it!

Looks promising to me. Any idea of the numbers?

I think the current top regarded option for close reproductions is here when in stock: https://www.dkproductiongroup.com/product/bd44-front-sight-protector/#comment-2315

Both have issues and are overpriced, in my opinion, for that reason. They have one with even more issues just listed on Gunbroker. Legacy, like any seller, has nice stuff occasionally but you need to do your part and know what exactly you're looking at. Legacy is just another business selling...

That one on Gunbroker also has a a butchered stock, no hand guard, no magazine, and, as noted, missing the entire bolt group. Those items alone make it a no-go for most people even at the current $1k price if a restoration of that rifle is the goal. It is a fair buy at the current price for...

Thoughts on that ac43 G43 currently on Gunbroker? A quick observation suggests at least the bolt carrier numbers are humped as it's the wrong type carrier for such an early rifle plus the acceptance was scrubbed when the original numbers were scrubbed. Wrong sight hood too, but that's just...

Same. I saw a couple interesting 43s at the SOS but nothing I was inclined to buy. Every example I saw had a little something I didn't like. I think I've become quite picky and I'm primarily looking for early production examples as opposed to mid to late. I noted that nice ac44 no letter block...

As correctly stated above, the scope is original and the mount is a reproduction.

In all likelihood it was phosphate. It's all buggered now. I'll gladly double your investment for that boogered turd. ;)

You Sir, win the luckiest fugger of the day award. My jealousy is beyond measure.

Mount is good/original. (y) Very nice, less the black paint, late war Zf4 variant with gas plug. 👍 Congratulations.

She's not wrong, but that's exactly why I go to the SOS.

Super nice example. Love that stock in particular. It's not the easiest to find a stock that hasn't been messed with in some way and the earlier the rifle it seems the harder it is to find a nice one. That's one exceptional un-messed with rifle. Congratulations. Honestly, I'm surprised MD let...

Addictive they are. I was watching that milled housing QVE45 myself. Very nice example. The others look great too. Terrific lineup!

This old list and info is by no means definitive but it's still a good general guide. CLICK THE LINK: https://www.espeholt.dk/g43_pouches.html Plus, this thread in this forum: https://www.k98kforum.com/threads/g-k43-info-codes-markings-and-examples-of-ww2-g-k-mags-scopes-accessories-etc.31433/

That's a really nice looking rifle. That's a real shame on that stock renumbering though. I'm watching it because I was (past tense) interested in it and I want to see how high it might go even with that strike. All else is exceptionally nice.

Stellar purchase. Mount serial might be questionable to some, but if you refer to some of Weaver's examples or any other examples I think every number appears legitimate and I see no reason to question the numbers on the mount. There's nothing fresh about the engraving either and only a slight...

Very interesting rifle and at a bargain price for the set. The St Etienne produced cosmetic receiver makes it a very cool variant and easily a worthwhile purchase, all considered. As stated above the mount is definitely original. The mount serial number engraving is questionable but that isn't...
