Without previous exposure (the hands-on kind) you'll probably understand less than 50% of what the experts here are trying to convey to you and that's not your fault. I also own a couple early Remington model 8's and think it would be cool to have another vintage semiautomatic. I own a few ww2 bolt guns and would love to add to the collection. Were they made after ww2? Known problems? Were there different factories that made them and are some more sought after than others? I know they're 8mm mauser caliber and made during ww2. He's mostly into black plastic stuff which doesn't do anything for me.Īnyways, I will be going this weekend to check it out but know almost nothing about them. It is complete with one black painted "gcb" marked K43 magazine, the cleaning rod, front sight cover and the reproduction rubber eye cup on the end of the scope and the first pattern scope covers (wooden plug and leather front cover).My brother spotted a gewehr 43 at a gunshop and told me about it knowing I am into the 'old guns'.
The scope is a WWII German ZF4 model that is marked on the side "Gw ZF4/ddx/ 50419", with the rare "L" property mark directly behind that, which denotes that it was original issue by the Luftwaffe for the FG42 MG. The locking lever has the correct "fest" and "lose" markings on the lever.
This model still retains the scope mounting rail on the right side and it is fitted with an early reproduction G43 scope mount with a small Eagle 214 Waffenamt proof towards the front end with two serial numbers ("5141g" and "7432a") milled in the front and rear of the mount. It is fitted with the correct laminated style wood stock and handguard, which lacks any proofmarks on the sides of the buttstock that have the old initials "AJ" lightly marked in the wood below the slit slot, while it still retains the small Eagle/WaA214 proof in the pistol grip area. It has the type two rough cast bolt carrier with the bolt latch on the right side and the cocking knob on the left, with the reinforcing web on top, with the stamped sliding dust cover. The left side of the rough forged receiver is marked with the "serial number, 7432a/G43/duv44" markings. This is an example of a mid WWII production rifle manufactured by the Berlin-Lubecker manufacturing company that carries the wartime code of "duv". These rifles represent German Army's final attempt to field a successful semi-automatic rifle during WWII.
