Oh man ... I know I'd be kicking myself if this goes down and I miss out on it. Given that I know it would be a while before this project is realized (if it takes off), I'll go ahead and say that I'd be down for a steel, no sight, removable plate, movable safety replica, and start putting a bit away each month. I'l echo the sentiment that this would be worth it to me, considering the price doesn't go above that of a deactivated Mauser in decent condition. A cheaper aluminum version is TEMPTING, and it would probably be easier to get massive support, but I agree ... if this is going to be done, why not do it right. That being said, if it looks like only an aluminum version would be feasible, I'd be up for that as well. SUBSCRIBED!
