    A very diffiCULt decision... 44 CUL SN : 0956a

    Had to borrow a pun from the late Kim Henvig, a notorious joker if you knew him. I've only had 4 44 CULs come through my collection in 20 years. I sold my second and third, only to be graced by this one which I took a gamble on not being 100% sure if it was matching. This last year I feel...

    Trenching Tools and Cover Fitment

    I have a WW2 Repro entrenching tool that I use for metal detecting (It works awesome) and was wondering if someone can tell me if the East German shovel covers will fit the wartime shovels. I would rather pick up a East German as they are better made than the repro covers. Example Below...

    Help Sling Experts : Sling ID Please

    I bought this sling cheap on Ebay so I could give it to my dad who likes to go plink Erma 22 K98 conversions with me, and he usually shoots offhand. Well I thought it was cheap because it must be Post War Czech or something, and I absolutely detest the Flavors of Repro slings out there. (They...

    Bore Sighting Lasers

    Has anyone used one of these? I have a regular bore sighter that goes in the muzzle but it's never worked well, doesnt lock up well. I just picked up a new ZF41 rig and looking at these to try and take some of the pain out of sighting it in.

    44 JWH 2054 v

    Well I've been meaning to post some bayonets I found this year as I got back in to collecting a little. For some reason it took me 20+ years to find a late JWH in such high condition but here it is. I have to say this one of of my favorites. It has many of the late war characteristics. A...

    BYF 45 No Letter Block - Sporter Restoration

    So I've picked up another long term project and am needless to say in search of a white glue full Kriegsmodel Unicorn stock. Only a few blued parts on this one. Unfortunately there wasn't a butt plate under that old cracked M1 Garand Rubber butt hump once I got it home. And unfortunately I...

    Warning to New K98 and Milsurp Buyers

    I feel like there should be a warning to new buyers regarding these scam auctions which Gunbroker refuses to stop. Peoples first experience collecting should not be getting scammed. Maybe a Sticky if not one already. I put this in K98 Sub-Section as thats where most new people start. I have...

    44 FNJ - 713 & 3577 N Block - Rough Welds

    I picked up 3577 N this week, my first acquisition in several years. I believe it is out of the woodwork (If Eagle Eyed Andy is paying attention.) 3577 N still has some gaps on the seam that weren't filled. Interesting the grip screws are indexed exactly the same (coincidence?) Grips screws...

    Electrolysis to remove rust from scabbards.

    Has anyone tried using electrolysis to clean up badly rusted scabbards? I am talking about very scaled rust and pitting. I am wondering what effect it may have had on any areas there may have been remaining blueing. Also was there any issues with the solder points on the scabbard. I've...

    44 SGX GG Block with Screws

    This sold on Ebay earlier tonight. I've never seen a GG Block with screws. I cant really tell from pictures if the screws are phosphate or of they are polished. The nuts look like they may be phosphate. Maybe someone removed the rivets and put screws in. The lug nut does look like its been...

    AR43 ZF41 Shooter "Restoration" Story

    It all began about 10 years ago I picked up a sportified AR43 ZF41 (no optics) on Gunbroker. It was a deal, ugly duckling, I don't think anyone else had saw the mount. It was all original and matching but stock had been whittled down to nothing, missing original butt plate. I set off to...

    43 CRS Tropical Frog and Belt

    As requested I am posting this. I thought it was a 42 CRS, but I've had it in storage over 10 years and it is actually a 43 CRS. Which makes me doubt it was actually DAK associated since Afrika Corps ceased to exist in early 1943. I want to note there was sand in the grips when I received...
