I just pull 10% of the powder out of the 8 mm 1960's ammo I have.

Cheers

Just found a website that shows you how to disassemble one of these things. Took it apart and cleaned it. None of the parts are numbered but have electric penciled numbers on them however all parts are WaA 214. Where did all those early G43s, K43s, G41s, etc etc come from in the 1960s when you could get them for $30?? Were these Russian Capture rifles maybe? The EP looks Russian. Even the mismatched bolt cover? ( the only other part with a serial number on it ) is even WaA 214.

May I ask what that website was?

E-penned numbers are normal on a duv gun. It's likely original, but good, detailed pics will prove it.

Hi here is the diassembly of the g 43 website.

Oh man love the MP 40!! Nice rifles, is that all the makers of the G & K 43?

 

[Chuckd]

Yay! Glad to see you found my website useful. At some point, I intend to put up field strip guides for the MP44, MP40, G41, G41M, P.08, and P.38, but putting those pages together is ridiculously time-consuming.

Yes, that is all the manufacturers of the G/K43. Walther, BLM, and Gustloff.

That was your website huh?! Thanks a bunch, without it I would have been lost. I usually got to that www.surplusrifles.com site but for some reason they had just about every gun but this one. What is a G41 M?? I saw a G41 at the Louisville show that had a BOLT in it and it was semi auto. How does that work? Do you have a picture of one? I think I'll start a seperate post on that one.

Here are pictures of some of my guns, the G41(M) included. http://www.gunsofthereich.com/gallery/main.php Give it a sec to load. (edit: actually, it appears my webhost is having issues right now... try a little later)

The G41(M) was Mauser Oberndorf's run at making a semi-auto prototype. It does, in fact, have a straight bolt handle like some mausers, and the answer to the question of "How does that work," is, "Not well."

 

[BARQS19]

If I see this right, is one of your G43s a right handed bolt? I thought they only came in left hand?

[Timofey]

they have bolts on both sides. A garboards auction had a sporterized G43 that was described as a “rare” left handed G43. Got to love it!

 

[Chuckd]

G41's have the cocking knob on the right side as issued. The G43 and K43 both had the cocking knob on the left as issued. Once bubba gets his hands on it, all bets are off.

And DONT use Isreali 8mm If you can even find it today in THat G43! Back in the good old days when I was a dealer, I bought a G43 with a milled early receiver(Smooth) for 300 bucks. I used some Isreali 8mm in it and the extractor set went flying out in the woods! Luckily , Sarco had a replacement extractor for the rifle and I Never Used Izzie ammo everr again in it. And no more problems. Weird bolt set up. Yours is Nice. But I have Never never Ever have seen a early G4 3 like mine with the smooth receiver again. Where is that rifle today? Boo Hoo

How early was it?

Do you know when Sarco sold those stocks and for how much? Did they have numbers stamped in them?
Thanks,

I thought I saw them for sale about 2 years ago. They were asking around $375
