a little thing really ,the front sight ,should it have the shroud or not,looking at a lot of footage even parade shots you almost never see the shroud.were they never issued or lost and never replaced.my understanding of military matters was that if you lost a bit of you'r rifle you would be in trouble and certainly would never be seen in a bit of Nazi propaganda film with it missing .i also noticed that at games i never see them and until now i just guessed they were lost.so what's correct?

armoury
m1a1 Thompson,sten mk2,mp40,stg44,sterling,mk2 bren gun,lee Enfield no4 mk1,Mauser Kar98, Walther ppk,smith and Weston m10 and Mauser m712
Give me a big enough hammer and a place to stand and I could fix the world.
i'll kill a man in a fair fight or if i think he's going to start a fair fight or over a woman or.......
a problem shared is a problem halved ,but an advantage shared is no advantage at all
if a job's not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well

Got one on my K98 but, they are very easy to knock off, which is why there are so many missing on photographs. So, either is correct.



When I want your opinion - I'll tell you what it is!
