I've just tried to look at the SBG website, and got all sorts of dodgy stuff on the screen (what I think was a fake Windows Defender window, and a warning telling me I had a trojan and that I should install some 'anti-virus' program). Am I the only one who has this problem? I was using www.sbg1.mist...

How bad is it? Surely if it's only being used for blanks the condition shouldn't matter too much as long as it's still safe to fire.

Excellent photos guys! I'm very impressed.

Looking good. It's a pity about the typo, I'm sure you'll get that fixed before you make the next batch though.

Hej og velkommen til!

Nice website.

Just checked, and the serial number confirms this. Some of the rifles made for Portugal ended up being used by German forces due to shortages. Do you know where yours came from?

I'm curios as to what is stamped on the receiver ring. Do you know the year of manufacture? Is it all matching?

I've got 'For Europe' and agree that is is a great book, but it is unfortunately rather light on photos. Does anyone know of any books or online sources with decent images of the French volunteers?

Cheers

Just looked on SM Wholesale's website, theirs isn't much cheaper than the real thing 479 dollars!

It does look good though.

I saw one or two 7.62 K98's on www.guntrader.co.uk recently. Worth a look if you haven't tried there already.

Just spotted this auction for an SS camouflage parka, and I haven't seen anything like it before. What do you reckon? Genuine? Repro?
