CRufflers, Milsurps, anyone?

Evaluating the contents of the safe the other day and what I have vs what I'd like to have, right now there's only one white elephant that's worth moving (let's face it, the single-shot 16ga with the rattly forearm isn't worth the price of shipping)...

Anyone interested in a Walther P38?

AC42 marked (in other words, actually Walther-made, in 1942), numbers-matching on the major parts, small CAI import on the underside of the barrel, no capture stamp, "bh" stamp on left side indicates Bundesheer (Austrian) service following the war, and the softshell holster is correct for that. Two magazines, un-numbered. I ran it past the guys at the P38 Forum, and one of them had this to say:

The BH above the trigger on the left side of your frame shows your pistol was used by the Austrian Bundesheer (Austrian Federal Army) after the war. Your left grip is numbered on the inside, which dates it to a 1940 or early 1941 Walther made pistol. The coarse grooved hammer dates from late in the war. Austrian marked pistols usually show some refurbishment, so replacement parts are more or less normal. The postwar Austrian holster is correct for this pistol.

I have *not* shot this yet, but probably will in the next week (just to say I have); the de-cocker doesn't seem to be working but I will confirm that at the range.

If someone is interested in a trade, that'd be my preference. A ban-compliant AR upper (16 or 18") or a complete M&P 15-22 would do nicely.
