K43 ac44 Panel Cut 5458 p block

[joryfreeburg]

Here is an exceptionally nice K43 panel cut that I picked up at SOS this year. This rifle has been posted here before but about 7 to 8 years ago. There are quite a few more photos showing the rifle dissembled and all the numbered parts plus the barrel code. Seems like so many G and K43’s got screwed up and have issues. This is a no excuse rifle that wears a really nice 1944 dated sling. The bolt on this rifle dose not have the relief cuts to allow easy assembly and disassembly of the bolt group. Was this a common occurrence on these bolts late war? The video that watched for disassembly was a late k43 but had the relief cuts in the bolt…..It was tight and a real challenge to get apart and back together….. Thanks Chuck (Gunrunner) for giving me first swing at this sweet rifle…. The stock is just the highlight IMHO…. Enjoy

My word that is a nice rifle!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have the rife listed as being here on 05-15-17 by Chuck and in Claus Espeholt’s listings.

Very desirable panel cut receiver rifle.

The type of bolt you are talking about was common in later rifles. Some have been seen this early too but not near as many. That was more of a really late war thing. Chuck did you a solid on this rifle. Just gorgeous.

Congrats on a superb panel cut G43! I don't think you'll ever be able to upgrade from this one, just an outstanding rifle all around.
