I am not very knowledgeable in all this carbine talk and missed out by 3 days on the CMP sales
I have a chance to buy a RURAL POLICE BAVARIAN CARBINE and need some advice, PLEASE.
Winchester Reciever S/N 1239XXX TYPE 3
Winchester barrel type 1
Rear sight: type 3
Front sight type 2 marked P
Winchester Slide type 4 / last 4 s/n on arm
Bolt: type 2 flat marked W / last 4 s/n on top
Trigger house: type 3 marked.U. stamped LGK K (Carinthia) - lugs with last 4 s/n
Stock: Inland. type 2 cut down to low wood, P stamp on pistol grip, left side AAF stamp, IO in sling well, very good stock condition.
Barrel band: type 3 marked KI.
My main concern is that the heal of receiver has some solder on it from Bavarian V notch sights but the austria arsonal put on the type 3 rear sight??. Would the silver solder have danmaged the receiver or take away some value of the carbine, for a collector maybe yes but I think would add history to the carbine as would have been in German police and then austria military. I think I got this right or maybe not ???
I know it is a rebuild and has updates but that is want I want. I am not a collector so does not have to correct.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Dick
