Very Rare, Minty VG 1 Rifle

Description

1/28/25 - This is a super rare VG 1 rifle from 1945 in excellent, original condition. One of the final weapons designed and developed by the Germans as an effort late in World War II, the VG-1 was one of the "People's Weapons", last ditch small arms produced by an industrial complex surrounded on all sides while being destroyed by Allied strategic bombers. In essence, the VG-1 is a successor of the Mauser K98k, stripped to the bone with as many simplified or repurposed parts as possible in the name of getting a working rifle out the door ASAP. The heart of the rifle is a receiver assembly fabricated from milled bar steel, fitted with a cast and machined bolt, a machine gun barrel, fixed sights, is configured to accept a G/K 43 magazine and is currently accompanied by an 'aye" code "K43" marked magazine. The receiver is unmarked aside from the serial number and an overlapping circle logo. Some examples with this logo are marked 'srg', which is an unknown manufacturer. The stock is single piece construction with a flat steel buttplate. It is also in terrific condition with only minor nicks and dings. Mint bore. Bolt is marked only with a 'K', and the underside of the stock is marked '3/1'.
