Thank you Laurence, byf.

Laurence, I meant to ask you, does/did your own example happen to have any of the contents located in the butt stock storage compartment, or was it empty?

Empty

[joe campbell]

empty or not, you both have very nice examples

of a very interesting weapon.

the garrand gave the GI a decided firepower advantage

over the standard german infantryman. had they had these

rather than the K-98, i suspect there would be a much higher

number of GI's buried in europe.

thanks to both of you!

Hi,

Here is my K43, ac45 block "d", with original scope (dow), but I still have to take some better shots of it, including details. It has a very crude blue finish on its slide, barrel and receiver and parkerized in the trigger guard. Painted magazines, marked G43. Very nice laminated stock. Everything original (except the scope mount I think) and I never messed with it. Anyway, hope you enjoy it.

Douglas.

Very nice Douglas

I just found this yesterday, I dont know about the price, would that be realistic or would it be high?

Laurence,

Thanks for the comment and for the link! However it would be a crime to deactivate this fine gun. Personally I don?t think that G41s made by Walther rach such price (in fact, Simpson Ltds. has one for sale for less check here: http://www.simpsonltd.com/product_info.php...roducts_id=2546 ). This price is more suitable for a G41(M), much more rarer.

Anyway, I hope that someone buy this one and keep it alive.

All the best,

Douglas.

[Laurence Strong]

Wow! A guy could buy an RK for the price of those.

[Douglas Jr.]

Hope people don?t listen this, but personally I?d prefer the rifle!

Douglas.
