Description
9/4/24 - This is a super rare Steyr VG 1 rifle from 1945 in very good, 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 with a "aye" code "K43" marked magazine. The receiver is marked "VG1" and "713" with the 'bnz' Steyr shield between the two. This appears to be a particularly late and unfinished example as the barrel shows no test firing proofs or front sight, and the bolt is unnumbered. The stock is single piece construction with a flat steel buttplate. It has a partially repaired surface crack behind the receiver. Minty bore.Specifications
