I did read through the scope thread and it is almost exactly how things went down on The Expertish Mosin Group Buy on Calguns. Except that involved a lot more people and money. Guy made every excuse in the book and in the end stiffed the majority of the people. They sent PayPal gift and money orders and didn't get anything back. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Does anyone have the link to the scope group buy scam or remember who the guy was? Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

I can't take credit for doing it. It was done by a member at gunboards. I figured it was important to share. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

Remixer is pretty friendly with local ATF agent. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

Multiple people have. They haven't stopped auctions in the past but hopefully they do. He has done it before too. Check out his previous auctions. Here is the before and after of the current auction Here is his fake Radom Stamps done with a roll stamp And Real Radom Stamps notice the M Above info provided by other members at gunboards. Hopefully no one here has a rifle that looks like eric120's or bought one from him. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Gunbroker fraud turd alert. Here is the rifle eric120 bought http://www.gunbroker.com/item/633644556 and here is the rifle he is selling with added Nazi stamps, altered serial number, and Radom Receiver stamp. http://www.gunbroker.com/item/651821970 Isn't altering a serial number a felony?

Current 2004 Yukon Denali. Still runs great. After seeing prices of new ones I let my wife get a new Traverse in 2013. I paid $42,000 new in 2004 now they want $72,000. Ridiculous. Favorite 1998 Trans Am Ram Air or my current Yukon Denali. Honestly I couldn't drive anything but a Yukon or Tahoe today. Can't stand center shifter. Need column shifter. Least favorite 1993 Grand Prix. Non stop electrical issues with it. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

Pretty close to both. I edited the name because I think it is now called Naval Air Support so NAVAIR covers both. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

CJRPC is pretty close to both Lakehurst NAVAIR and McGuire AFB. Not sure which Tavern you are talking about. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

It was a choice capture weapon for the Finns as a trophy just like the SVT bayonets. The SVT-40 did not meet the Finnish standards for accuracy. Thus why they didn't waste much time with them. They did fix small parts on them. They also looked into upgrading them to Finnish standards, but determined it would be cheaper and more efficient to build a semi auto battle rifle from scratch. Which in fact they did build a prototype based on the SVT-40. However after the war they decided against the SVT Prototype and put the rests of the captured SVT's into storage. Instead they decided to go with the AK Platform. Most of the Finnish SVT's were surplused 1959-61. I don't know much about German use of the SVT-40 but I could see why they would want one when compared to the G41 and even the G43. I agree the PU Sniper should have been part of the competition. I like the look of the SVT-40, but I am not crazy about the reliability or accuracy. The SVT-38 was even worse but I still plan on buying a Finn Capture SVT-38 one day. The Garand was definitely the better battle rifle.

SVT-40 is garbage compared to the others, but I do agree it was odd to quit so quickly. I own one SVT-40 still, but I used to own a few. Finn Captured of course. Yes the reproduction part was rather cheesy. I have an original Scope and repro mount. Wasn't hard to find. Finding a legit original SVT-40 Sniper that isn't easy. Mine is not a Sniper but the mount fits so tight the notch isn't needed. I enjoyed seeing all the SVT's in Canada. I didn't catch them saying Zaitsev used a SVT-40. I forgot about my favorite episode from Season one the FG-42. Zaitsev using a SVT-40 is not totally inaccurate he did use it once. Here is his load out. "Zaitsev repeated it several times (3 for 3 600yd shots) with his 4X PEM and a rifle said to have been his new 1942 91/30 Izhevsk sniper as seen in his Stalingrad pictures. He lost that PEM rifle when wounded and temporarily blinded by an explosion near the end of the Battle for Stalingrad and was issued a PU (which is in the Stalingrad Museum with a silver plate of the stock) and he fought with that 3.5X PU nearly to Berlin, including the relief of Odessa, when he was badly wounded again. He mentions having used an SVT-40 on one occasion, praising the firepower, but didn't use it normally. He also regularly carried a PPSh-41 and Tokarev pistol plus Mills Bomb hand grenades at Stalingrad, complaining about dragging it all along into his sniper hides." Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

I agree the host is terrible. However seeing the collections and seeing the old war dogs put back in working order makes up for him. Also some episodes are better than others. I enjoyed the Sniper Rifle and Flamethrower from Season 1 and the Oerlikon from Season 2. Overall the reaction from most is positive. Give it some more episodes. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

Intimidated No. Just don't want to see the forum come to an end. It would be like letting the lunatics run the asylum. Plus don't you find it a little odd that someone is campaigning to be a Mod? Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

Mrs Zeke is obviously Zeke based on that last reply. So please please please no support of any Zeke for Mod. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

I bought the .38-200 ammo from Matt's Bullets. Wasn't exactly cheap but it is supposed to be original spec. http://mattsbullets.com/ammunition/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=2 Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

Thank You Griz. I've bought from both, but figured in today's day and age they would have everything computerized til I saw that episode and now you have confirmed it. Springfield Sporters is another one I will give a call to. Looking for an original Echo (E.C. Herkner Co.) base and mount for FN-49. I have two bases and 3 mounts, but with the new Luxembourg Oip AL marked Scopes I have 4 scopes. Also I know Sarco used to sell FN-49 Wooden Sniper boxes for $50 up until 3 years ago. Maybe they still have some hidden or one of the others do. The box isn't a necessity but it is a neat item to add to the collection. I have one wooden scope box but I wouldn't mind adding 3 more of them as well. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

Smithsonian Channel. I will PM you something. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

Did anyone happen to catch Season 2 Episode 3 titled Pearl Harbor where they were rebuilding a Oerlikon 20mm AA Cannon? An interesting part of the episode was they went to Sarco to find a firing pin. Which they not only had the firing pin, but multiple Oerlikon Receivers. It also was mentioned that they had 67,000 Garand Stocks. If anyone needs one Sarco is right across the River. I was wondering what else they have that isn't listed on their site. Has anyone else called them to ask them to look for something in particular and had any luck? If anyone hasn't seen The Weapon Hunter it is a fantastic show on Smithsonian channel. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

I have a Savage 1907 in .32 also a H&R Top Break in S&W .32 Short. I got some .38-200 New production supposedly loaded to the original specs. It's only been 2 months so I figure maybe by Labor Day I will have my permits and can pick mine up and shoot the .38-200. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

If I was able to find a wood stock I would probably still own it. Glad you are happy with it. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk
