Apparently the prior owners brother had bought it in the 60s and had been in the family until today. Thanks! Chris

Damn, that rifle is beautiful and exactly what anyone would want out of a G43, congrats on picking it up! It being local is even better, I've never seen a truly textbook G43 in person so thanks for sharing this one!

Great BLM rifle. As Brian said it's getting tougher to find 1944 G43s. Everyone wants 1945 rifles but 1944 seem tougher to find in good condition and not messed with. Love the stock on that one.
