    Berlin-Lubecker G41 g block local pickup

    Berlin-Lubecker G41 (duv43) g block. I sourced this rifle locally several years ago not over 10 miles from my home. A local family had pulled this from their closet and wanted to sell for house repair money. I was very lucky to have been to able to oblige them and keep it here in the same rural...

    K43 AC45 B block

    A '45 Walther B block I picked up a while back. Just showing it. Single guide rail, no hold open, round bottom stock, etc. A few neat features. Recoil lug orientation is an oddity but this makes 3 I have with them opposite the typical orientation. Click the link below for an album of 33 images...

    Steyr VG-5 aka VK-98 for review and critique

    Steyr VG-5 aka VK-98 for review and critique. Just received this VG-5 and am trying to determine if anything is amiss. Call me the skeptic. Of most concern is the numbering on the bolt although it is similar font as the the receiver serial font. Most items on this are textbook according to...

    A very nice original ZF4 wooden box and WaA359 mount/rig I recently acquired.

    A very nice original ZF4 wooden box and WaA359 mount/rig I recently acquired. Note the can numbering on both the lid and the side. I'm very happy with this one and just showing it. Just a few pics here but I've made an album of about 40 images on my Flickr page if you feel inclined to view...

    ZF4 Scope can that sold today.

    Thought I'd post (the images) this since it's already sold today for $1195 Sadly, it wasn't to me. Listing info "5/16/23 - This is a rare, late WW2 production wood ZF 4 scope case. The case exterior has the name of a veteran who likely captured and brought this item home scratched into the wood...

    Tan RG 34 kit: CNX?

    I have this tan cnx kit. Can I assume it's a post-war repaint to increase value/deceive?

    Thoughts on that ac43 G43 currently on Gunbroker. ATTN: TURD ALERT

    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...

    Question/idea on pricing/value of a '37 Erma K98k before I post in the trader or other.

    Question on pricing a '37 Erma K98k before I post for sale. I've had this one a few years. Mostly matching and meaning in effect everything matches but the rear trigger guard screw and the cleaning rod (original but two digits don't match this rifle). Yes, even the band spring matches. Sadly...

    Recent acquisition unserialized G43 for review and discussion

    A recent acquisition to my modest collection and bound to stir some discussion. G43 marked received with only WaA749 visible on the underside. WaA134 marked barrel and WaA134 marked bolt carrier. Walther marked milled bolt housing and locking lugs. Bolt appears blued. Unique rear sight ladder...

    Recent Acquisition: 1941 C. Riese Berlin rubber aka radiator hose frog.

    Just picked this up in our own trader section; a 1941 C. Riese Berlin rubber frog (aka radiator hose frog) that came with a matching 1939 W.K.C. bayo and scabbard set. Sadly the bayo sharpened and no need to include. The rivets are even more unusual of course. I suspect a field modification but...

    3 new to me original G/K43 ZF4 rigs. All are Walther acceptance marked. Check your rifle numbers. Automatic first choice to the guy with the rifle.

    3 new to me original G/K43 ZF4 rigs. All are Walther acceptance marked. Check your rifle numbers. Automatic first choice for the appropriate rig to the guy/gal with the rifle of course. On the other hand, I'll gladly buy their correct serial rifle or trade my ex-wife's soul for that rifle. I'm...

    A question for you Depot Rebuild experts: 1939 337 Code (Gustoff-Werke) info/opinions

    1939 337 Code (Gustoff-Werke) info/opinions I'm considering posting this for auction on Gunbroker but want to get my facts straight on the re-stamped items beforehand. I hate to list with inaccurate information, so here I am. Specifically is this all a legitimate depot rebuild? Note that it is...

    A question: Original Mounts; Which is most desirable, a serialized (non-matching to rifle) mount or an unserialized mount?

    An honest question: Original Mounts; Which is most desirable/more valuable, a serialized (non-matching to rifle) mount or an unserialized mount? I ask because I have two original Walther mounts remaining and thinking of letting one go but possibly both.

    Unique Relic G41 just dug up in Latvia. G41Prototype?

    This relic was just posted for viewing elsewhere. Look very closely at the details in the images before you dismiss it. G41 (Walther with Bang system design bits) prototype of some form? Well worth some discussion. If you refer to Weaver's newest G41/G43 set and Volume 1, page 163, and the...

    Questionable zf4 mount

    I was watching this auction just to see what it would do. I did not bid over repro price. Although at first glance it looks legit I just saw too many "questionables" with this mount. I just don't like it. In question were the shape of the mount (far left), the lever and screw/bolt, and in...

    Verify repro zf4 mount

    I’m pretty well positive (99%) this is a repro mount but before I flip it I thought I’d better verify as it’s unlike the repro mounts I’ve seen thus far. Came on a rifle I picked up recently. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Question on gas cylinder operation and removal on ac44 A block rifle.

    I have an a block ac44 G43 and it has the correct first model cylinder (bottom in the attached image). My question: how does this cylinder operate compared to the later types (I have a few later types)? My question specifically is should that cylinder move when the rifle is cycled like the later...
