I own a 69/71. For a lot of years it's been my worst milsup purchase. It was a case of buy in haste and inspect at leisure. I paid an embarrassing to me later $225 for my albatross back about eighteen or so years ago. I didn't notice the biggest and most obvious fault that was so glaring that I feel doubly foolish for making the purchase. Oh well.... such is life. When money is burning a hole in your pocket and you buy by model and not with your eyes wide open you can make regrettable purchases.

I feel much better now I've made much more costly mistakes in other collectibles since.

Since I know absolutely nothing about these rifles, I have to ask, what is the fault with your rifle?

.

[Niner]

You see that back "sight". Do a google search. I don't know what the hell that thing is actually.

[DuncaninFrance]

It certainly isn't the correct one Can you drift it off or is it welded in place?

[Niner]

I think a replacement to the correct version would be worth as much as I have in the rifle....if I could find one.

[Niner]

Here is what one should look like.... I think.

Now I see the problem.....
