Hi Da,

Honestly then maybe you can put the "finishing touches" on ours that might be missing . By the way - any idea where I could buy repo proof stamps or things like that? Some details that get left off don't cost all that much but sourceing them is the problem.

I have always had a "real" problem with fake proofs etc when used to doup the unsuspecting but in cases like this it is just a simple attempt to add authenticity perks to something NO ONE is going to try to pass off as anything but what it is.

For stamps, you'd have to have them custom made. Of course, once they are made, you can use them on other guy's guns. There's NO WAY that anyone will mistake a PTR-44 for a MP-44 no matter what stamps you add, and unless you're Bubba, you won't be tempted to make counterfeit guns.

I reserve the right to comment later on. Don't know which way to approach that at the moment. All I wanna do is scream and/or throw up.

I'd placed a post on that thread a few days back that accurately expressed my feelings about his rifle. I strongly believe it will never make it back to Germany.

AND the kicker is "IT MIGHT GET CUT UP AND MELTED DOWN" This Guy has good intentions but cut me a break. If he wants to give it away why not donate it to the West Point Museum in the USA, or a any place that won't destroy it.
200K down the Drain. :(

That gun exists. I've seen it at his house. I honestly can't remember how I met him, but was invited over to his home to see his German gun collection. By far, this was the rarest. But trust me, he had some guns in his collection that would make most people's jaw drop in astonishment. I really wanted to talk him out of his panzerschreck, but never could.

Hmmm I feel like honoring the family of the person who carved their initials in my MP40 bakalite (yes there is DL carved into the foregrip above the trigger), besides, who cares if its going to be cut up and who cares that someone else can enjoy it...(end sarcasm)

Who cares? Why me of course! I want it so I can take it apart and duplicate it and sell it for lotsa money! And for the good of my fellow man! : )

Ditto and +1. I may sound like a greedy SOB, but even if it doesn't fire, it's gotta be worth $$$$$$ and I'd sell it before I would ever even consider giving it away.

Hi,
We put up a few new pics for comparison of size against an SKS and to show what a standard blue finish would look like. Take a look if you get a chance and tell me what you think. We are still bogged down in trying to make all the little parts and peices so updates will be few and far between from here on out. Probably nothing big until the test fire vid. Thanks for looking.
