Latest EU Spec, with removable magazine and partially moving bolt carrier. The side rail has been removed, hence price. The G43/ K43 was a development of the earlier and more unreliable G41 and entered service with the Wehrmacht in late 1943. 400,000 were made between 1943 and 1945, with the later examples being of a very rough finish as standards degraded. After the Nazi invasion of Russia in 1941 and encountering whole battalions of Soviets armed with the SVT, the Nazis realised that they needed to offer their infantry soldiers a semi automatic rifle and the G43 was the final result. All deactivated weapons sold by D and B Militaria are deactivated in the United Kingdom and hold London or Birmingham proof marks and a certificate stating that the weapon has been deactivated correctly.
