I don't think i have ever posted these photos before. This was a G43 that was found in an attic and it was in poor shape, a little scrub down and some re-blue and a cheap repop stock and it looks pretty good (just wish I had a real stock).

The only thing I was missing was the magazine. A year later the same person who found this and gave it to me brought a box of parts and there in the box was the mag with rounds still in it. The Krag that I posted came from the same place.

Do you still have the original stock? If so, do you have the butt stock as that would be an interesting one to repair?

Oh I think I'll pass on the trade fer now. I took it out to shoot but it would not extract the spent shell. I may need to clean up the chamber as the rifle was quite rusty on the out side!!

P.S. This one found me via a friend.
