Could this be one of the (dangerous) Israeli ones Sarco had? They are in 8mm, but are clearly German WWII barrels, but as I recall, the only problem with the Israeli ones was the barrel extensions. I've never seen anyone but Sarco or Ohio Ord. with the Israeli ones though. I've also not seen IO have Israeli ones for sale, either.
Could this be a Czech or Ukranian post war barrel extension? Or did the Germans actually put on some waffenampts like this? I didn't pay any extra for it, so I'm not sure why anyone would fake it, unless it is the real thing???
I can't wait for my MG34 to get here, I'm going to have some fun with it when it does!
The germans didnt blue the recievers on the Gew. 71, 71/84, or Gew. 98 mausers in WWI, so them mating unblued items with blued didn't even tick over as odd to me. The barrel exension is a different metallurgy, so it doesn't take bluing quite the same as the rest of the barrel, just like the recievers used to be, so I just figured that was the original German state. My blued barrel extension is German, but attached to a Yugo barrel: I figured the Yugos did that, not the Germans. All the other barrels I've got, including a blank firing barrel, have blued barrels with unblued extensions.
