G/K43 serial number parts list

I'm hoping to see if those of us who have mismatched G/K43's can post a list of bolts and bolt carrier serial numbers from any mismatched rifles. The goal being to reunite a bolt/carrier to its original rifle. I currently have four G/k43's, two AC 44's and two qve 45's. The are for the most part correct with having the same factory numbered parts, but I don't have a receiver that matches any of my carriers/bolts except for one qve 45 (bolt only).
I will start this list for bolts and carriers.

Bolt carriers:
Berlin-Lubecker (214) 301a, matching bolt/lugs electro stenciled
Walther (359) 1187
Walther (359) 9280
Walther (359) 4695, matching bolt/lugs. Electro stenciled

Bolts:
Walther (359) 6981, lugs stenciled 803
Berlin-Lubecker (214) 8351 bolt one lug stenciled "411"

I currently have the following receiver serial numbers:
AC 44 # 4257g
AC 44 # 1564h
qve 45# 5121
qve 45# 8351d (have the bolt for this one)

Also have a duv 44 # 4667a, but this barreled action is butchered. Sight block hacked off, and barrel cut flush to the front sight.


Hopefully this can start a decent thread, and have other members post their mismatched rifle components. If some of us have parts that we could use to complete, or make a rifle matching again this would be a good place/way to start it.

Great idea for a thread.

I have the following locking lugs:

Pair, WaA214, "67"

Pair, WaA359, "053"

Single (no notch), WaA359, "265"

Do the carriers that those bolts are in match the rifles serial number?

And hopefully this takes off, or at least gets some parts re-paired back to their original rifles.
 
Hi Mike -

The locking lugs I listed are loose, extra parts that I am willing to sell or trade if someone has the matching rifle.

Regards,

Ernie

I have bolt carriers:

9052 Found along with an un-numbered bolt and right locking flap.
770 No bolt hold-open, bubba maybe smoothed out the rough forged surface, old parkerized finish.
 
Berlin-Lubecker DUV 44 with receiver 2226g and bolt 7767g.

What are the chances someone broke the bolt post-war and found a replacement bolt from the same manufacturer and same serial number block? I guess I'll never know :)

One of my Berlin-Lubecker duv 44 rifles has a 9005g receiver and BLM 6360g bolt carrier. This is my trusty m/m shooter with a shooters kit in it.

Berlin-Lubecker bolt body #4808
Berlin-Lubecker extractor #08
Berlin-Lubecker firing pin carrier #2199
Berlin-Lubecker locking flaps #84 (clear on one), other looks like 84 (second number poor EP)

I have a bunch of spares BLM/AC put away. One day I will pull them out and add to this list

I have this rifle in my serial numbers listings as a possible ORIGINAL mismatched rifle. Be careful about swapping out bolt carriers as you might be killing some of the history. It would be neat to get the numbered bolt carrier though and have with it.

I have it reported that the 08-18-2020 seller stated the rifle may have been brought back by his grandfather and sat in the seller’s basement for 60 years not being touched.

Just FYI.

That’s really awesome Tiger, thank you so much for that info! I got that rifle from a forum member a few years ago. I wonder how many owners it’s had between now and then
 
I don’t know. I only have one entry on it where it was on gunbroker on 08-18-2020 and it came from Landenberg, PA.

The bolt group matches itself (#7018 bolt, #18 on locking lugs, #18 firing pin housing BUT the bolt carrier is #7013). Wonder if the electro pencil guy mistook the bolt carrier last digit or the guy stamping the bolt carrier mistook the bolt components? Looks like a mistake was made on the last numbering of the entire bolt system. The stock is supposed to be original and not sanded. Interesting.
