Excellent WWII Nazi Walther Model G43 "ac 44" Semi-Automatic Rifle

Description:

This is a nice example of a WWII Walther produced G43 semi-automatic rifle with the desirable reclaimed receiver. The earlier manufactured receiver has the casting defect in the scope mounting base that later on in the war Walther just reclaimed the receiver by machining off the scope base and made it a standard service rifle. The left side of the receiver is stamped "Eagle/359/G43/3579j/ac 44". Rough machined cast receiver, bolt carrier, sheet metal action cover and sliding dust cover. Later pattern barrel without the threaded muzzle and standard blade front sight and tangent rear sight graduated from "1-12". Standard wartime laminated stock and handguard with cupped sheet metal buttplate with the trapdoor (contains an original field manual and two spare firing pins). With a magazine marked "gcb/K43", an original cleaning rod, sheet metal front sight cover and leather sling.

Rating Definition:

Excellent with 97% of the phosphate/blue finish overall with edge and high spot wear. The stock and handguard are both fine with a nice original color showing minor handling marks and scratches overall with a couple heavier gouges on top of the handguard. An excellent example of a scarce Walther ac-44 G43 marked variation.
