WHY? I have spent months restoring mine back to the correct configuration. I had the chance to hand pick mine at AIM. I had to go through 18 crates to find 2 that were good enough to restore. The rebuild quailty is non-existant, and they just threw any part that would fit on them. |

There, I 'fixed' it. I know nothing about the quality of these rifles from AIM or the original poster's restoration intentions, hence the word 'may'. This was just a friendly post offering a source for a cleaning rod, not trying to start a debate. |

How did you manage to find all the original serialized parts to restore them to their correct configuration? |

That is the hard part. I have a list of every part that I need, and the number I need on it. I have the list on file with several dealers I know, plus several other collector friends. I sometimes talk dealers into swaping out a part on a non-matching rifle. It takes time, and buying some parts pot luck style, but you build a supply of spares. It took a while believe me. Mine were both 1936 models, so they were a mix of Weimar and Axis stamps. The bolts matched, so I started from there and worked my way up. Not all parts have numbers on them on all rifles from all builders, so thise are the easy ones. It is a pain in the ass, but it pays off in the end. |

" I had the chance to hand pick mine at AIM. I had to go through 18 crates to find 2 that were good enough to restore."
That's why buying online is hit or miss, and the handpick doesn't guarantee a good rifle. I understand that paying the, usually, $10.00 fee for a handpick means they grab the top 5 then pick the best one. If the markings are important to a buyer it's worth it to buy from someone like Dennis @ Empire Arms. It's more expensive but their descriptions can be counted on to be accurate. Jim |
