Description
German K43, 8mm cal. auto military rifle. Serial # 8759, mfg. by Walther in Germany.  Good to very good condition. The GI's nicknamed this one "Hitler's Garand". Standard Nazi issue during WWII. 60% blue finish.  21 1/2" barrel with strong rifling and a shiny bore.  Much of the blue has been removed from the barrel and front band.  Matching numbered bolt.  Original dust cover.  Very clean internals.   Original laminated stock is in very nice shape with Waffenampt below trigger guard.  Faint Waffenampt on left side of the stock at the rear.   Has recently manufactured sight hood and non-matching K98 buttplate.  Correct K43 "jcb" marked magazine with 70% black enamel finish remaining. Walther "ac" code near serial number. These are getting difficult to find in this condition.  Germany's WWII semi-auto battle rifle that saw service against the M1 Garand and SVT 40. Much military history here! C&R OK.
