My latest...DUV43 G41

[my66coupe]

My first and probably going to be my only G41. Thanks to fellow forum members here and over at gunboards for advice on this one. An A block rifle, this one is all matched minus a E/359 marked front band, that appears to have been on the rifle for 70 years. Duffle cut under the rear band, the receiver is milled for the zf40 mount and has remnants of white paint on various parts of the rifle... Let me know what you think!

The metal's finish looks awesome, it's the perfect amount of patina IMO.

Nice rifle!

Your rifle looks like the G41 (W) that I got last year : AC 43, serial number 9102a which also seems untouched. All parts numbers are matching, except the cleaning rod which appears genuine but is unumbered.
The barrel is well rusted (because of corrosive ammunition, and lack of proper cleaning), I'm trying to restore it to a functional state through chemical and brush cleaning. I want to keep this rifle in its condition (no washing of the stock, no brushing of the metal components, only "soft" cleaning).
This rifle was brought to a gunsmith in the city of Nantes (who sold it to me, with all the paperwork involved) by the widow of a passed collector.
