That's the way I understood it.

Once I saw the one on Hunting Hitler, and started thinking about it, I guessed it was probably a lot more common than I initially thought it was. I guess I was right (for once!).

I tried to watch the first episode, but just couldn't make myself watch the whole thing. Then ended up later watching three episodes in a row. Go figure. I did learn one thing by watching, tho. Having never been to Germany ( I did put Germany as first choice on my "dream sheet", and my entire...

Well, I got in contact with the seller. He still has it and he was willing to let the box go. He told me to shoot him an offer, so I offered $50 shipped. He hinted that it was going to take a little more than that, so I guess he can keep it. Too bad. He did tell me that if he remembered...

I was tempted too. But I just stepped away from the keyboard.

When I came across this add the other day, I called the wife over to read it; she got a good laugh. She's learning.

I saw that and it really ticked me off. I did like he suggested, and have the article ready to post on GB (minus the pics), but should I even bother?

Not sure if you're still adding to the study or not, but I'll throw this one in too, just in case. 2521 (rec) bnz43 rune (big) ah (circle W) Bo E/623 (RC)

I would hope not.

Even tho the auction description said he had it, it didn't specifically say it was included. I expected it, but it never showed up. I just let it slide. That chaps my hide too, but it's been ten years, and it's my own fault for not pressing the issue more.

Like I said, you were totally in the right. How I missed all that on Gunboards, I have no idea. If a "mistake" was made in the description, he should have atleast offered a refund. I would have probably turned it down, 'cause it is a cool rifle for what it is, but he never made any attempt (I do...

Thank you!

Thank You!!

In one of the old threads, I saw a reference to the 544 stamp on the barrel, saying we all know what that is. I don't.

Well, I've been on a roll since joining- what with my M40 that's probably been messed with and my G24(t) that took me 10 years to find out it's not quite what I thought. So, I'm gonna go for all the gusto now. When I first got it, I posted on GB German militaria forum, where I was directed to...

As soon as I read that, I started hearing the song from "Life of Brian"- always look on the bright side of life.

This is exactly what I've seen with the SVT 40 sniper rifle community. The top secret notch in the receiver that no one may post a picture of lest the counter fitters know what one looks like. In all these years, some one serious about producing fakes need only buy an original, and viola!

I guess I should have spent more time on the K98 board back then; I completely missed the discussion. I read both threads and you guys were 100% right. That add was VERY deceiving. I went and dug out my old records and found that I added it to my bound book 11/10/05, and paid $505 + whatever he...

Wow. I'm speechless. I posted this one on Gunboards right after I bought it, and no one told me. Is the second auction the one where I bought it (azroadrunner2)?

So, this is a re-issue M40 that's had post war black paint stripped, and somebody has messed with the liner?
