SOLD - Rare Nazi G.41 Rifle - Sniper Configuration

Description

6/17/21 - This is a rare Nazi G.41 that was manufactured in 1943 at the Berlin-Lubecker factory, and features rare scope mount for Zf 41/1 scope. This is the early version of the famous G/K 43 series of semi-automatic rifles. These rifles were made in limited production early on in the war, with only 10,000 manufactured, and ultimately proved to be too time-consuming to manufacture and produce. They employed a gas trap system mounted on the end of the rifle barrel that was originally designed off of the Bang system which employed a full length operating rod. This system proved too costly to produce and unreliable enough through the rough environment of the war. This semi-automatic function of this rifle and larger magazine capacity was highly desirable on the Eastern Front. This specific rifle is fitted with an original ZF41/1 scope and reproduction mount. The right side of the receiver is marked "G.41" with the serial number and "duv 43" the war time code for the Berlin-Lubecker factory. It has all matching numbers throughout, including commonly replaced parts such as the stock and muzzle cap. Excellent bluing on the receiver but most of the wear is on the front end of the muzzle/barrel and front band. Mint bore, looks nearly unfired and something tells us this will be super fun to use. Stock is in great shape with several waffenamts and no major defects.
