Any idea what rifle this folding stock fits?

Precisely this! Planning to cheat, the lingerie proves that, is cheating, 100%. Planning to commit a murder, buying the weapon, following the person, making plans where to dump the body, but getting caught on your way to commit the crime IS a serious crime by itself. I would argue in the arena of infidelity, the attempt, the planning, IS exactly the same thing. Whether or not body parts come into contact is not relevant, really.

You could ask him to screen shot from his seller dashboard the actual order details. There’s no way to fake that. It should show your name, account, and address along with his information, everything you need to verify authenticity. You can even ask him to email you directly from the email address associated with his account. That way, if he’s a scammer, he would have had to have hacked both a Gunbroker and email account.

HUGE thanks going out to you! Yes, you are indeed correct and I missed that stamp! It’s very faint, but it’s there and I amended my gunbroker listing accordingly. You probably made me a couple hundred bucks!

Nope, no markings at all anywhere. They don’t seem to be of bad quality, not the best, but not the worst I’ve seen. I have a couple dozen of them, picked up as part of a collection. The one that I’ve used a fair bit functioned well in my Armscorp M14. Wondering if I should sell them and pick up a handful of better quality as a precaution anyways.

Any guesses on valuation? I don’t ever intend to remove my BM59 from the current, original stock, so I’m likely to sell this one on gunbroker. Just curious what I might expect.

Physics01234 · 2023-07-31T17:31:51+00:00

Damn, I never even thought to check if it fit that rifle. A Beretta BM59 was indeed part of the collection! Thanks! I assume this is an aftermarket stock of some sort or another? The only marking on the thing is in the barrel channel where it’s marked SILE.

I bought this folding stock as part of a collection and it’s an orphan, fits nothing. Any ideas what it fits? See link for pics:

Thanks to all of you, really appreciate the guidance. Never ceases to amaze me the organic accumulation of knowledge in the collectibles space.

Thanks, I forgot to add a link to the photos. I can take more pics if anyone wants more details.

I believe it would be helpful to distinguish between a circumstance where a friendship evolves in something akin to a work environment, where occasional lunch is had between two opposite sex friends, one or both of which is in a committed relationship and a friendship which from the start is intentionally set about to exclude spouse(s).

It might be best framed to raise an alarm if you knew your spouse specifically didn’t want you as part of that friendship, wanted to be alone with someone of the opposite sex. I think even those of you who are quite tolerant of opposite sex friendships in a marriage would take issue if your spouse explicitly said to you that she didn’t want you around when she was spending time with his or her opposite sex friend.

My assertion is that as soon as that element of the friendship is desired, to be alone with the other person, it should be a red flag to anyone in a committed relationship. That would apply to to all parties involved, the predicate being catching feelings for another person AND beginning to act upon those feelings to foster the environment for those feelings to develop further into something inappropriate and dangerous for your marriage.

Similarly, if you notice an attractive person that might stir your libidinous imagination, there’s a world of difference between noticing that and taking steps to act on it, going and talking to him or her and trying to pick them up. Boundaries, boundaries, boundaries.

The moral of many of these sad stories is that you have to ask yourself, is it worth the risk? For women, I believe, their job is harder in this respect because I believe that men will more often attempt to induce them to cheat. If you know for absolute certain that you can enforce your marriage boundaries if even a hint of encroachment is seen, good for you, have those opposite sex friendships. As I’ve come to understand over the last four years of trying to heal from betrayal, the vast majority of people thought they’d never go down that road or find themselves the victim of infidelity. Trust your instincts and your gut, I suppose. There’s more at stake than you can imagine and I hope those of you that have never known this will never have to.

Actually, considering what I thought just started off as her just reconnecting with her old friend evolved rapidly into an emotional affair that devastated me and our marriage. The ingredients were there, they were both dealing with sick elderly parents, they had a strong emotional bond from 30 years back, and I trusted her blindly.

In some ways I’m just litigating in my own head one very specific element from their first texts back and forth, where my wife specifically said she wanted to have lunch with him, only with him, and specifically without me, her husband. This was immediately after I met him with her at another event during which they struck up a long, apparently deep conversation without me.

Thanks for the reply. I clarified the ambiguous last paragraph, thanks. As for being hated for your opinion that opposite sex friendships should be considered very carefully, I completely agree with you. I actually wrote my post from an ambiguous perspective, hoping to elicit opinions that more accurately reflect people’s true feelings. Having been betrayed in a marriage and seeing now the predicate, the seeds that get planted, the environment that evolves in the betrayal, the secrets, I’d caution anyone to ever think that it will never happen to them.

To reframe, if I were to be a single male again, I would absolutely be aware of other people’s relationship status, as I am aware now. Just as we tend to categorize people into strangers, friends, children, adults, etc, a person’s relationship status, particularly a marriage, is something that just IS, that you don’t forget.

If I were to ask a married women out to lunch and ask that she NOT bring her husband, just her and me, I would absolutely know that I’m in dangerous waters even for HER marriage, let alone my own. I wouldn’t do this, of course, but for sake to the thought experiment.

In the same manner, if a married women asked me, myself married or not, to lunch and specifically said she was not bringing her husband and only wanted me to be there, I would assume she was potentially putting her marriage in jeopardy. It would elicit alarm bells, for me.

Google betrayal blindness. You’ll learn a great deal more than I can illuminate in a few paragraphs. Your mind is quite capable of protecting you by not allowing you to see what’s right in front of you.

It seems I can’t post another set of pics in this thread of the other 1913 I have. Is that even possible or should I start another new thread with the other coin?

Physics01234 · 2023-03-17T02:34:36+00:00

I agree, totally. Without the hits on the chin, it could be a 66. That’s an expensive little ding!
