Panel cut reciever AC44 K43

[miles136]

Here is why I love, not like, love, this one.... aside from condition

Phosphate sight hood, first one I believe is real and original, on a K43

recycled front sight base : we see this often in other parts, it is an early front sight base for rifles with threaded muzzles/muzzle nuts...note the lever was left out

walther made stock, no WaAC10 proofs, only walther proofs...note it is the thinner, more rounded type stocks I see mostly on BLM guns

You have done well young grasshopper.....

Let's get some action going on this forum. The 98k guys are leaving us in the dust.

Jack, you and JM have some beautiful rifles. I remember setting up at the shows down south and could buy nice matching G/K.43s in the regular flavors, ac 44 and duv 44, for around $475-575 all day. They would sit at shows for that. Matching K98ks seemed harder to find and were pretty close in price. I wasn't into G/Ks as I was K98ks but I wish I had been, and kept many that I sold off and traded.

Okay 10 years old I know.....but, could I please get the letter block of this rifle? I have one darn near like this, condition and all. Mine is a q block rifle.

I zoomed in and it looks like a “P”. That being said it can’t be a Q being in the 6k range.. I mean I guess it could?

I also have a late ac44 P block, not panel cut that also has the early front sight base for the threaded muzzle without the lever ! You have a real beauty there !

Along those lines, here are a few shots of a K43 fire restoration that I did for a guy about 20 years ago. He got the rifle for free, so he didn't mind putting a few bucks into it. Turned out to be a reliable and accurate shooter. I took a bit of a bath on the stockwork, though. Since I ordered a 90% stock, I quoted accordingly for the fitting. But when I received the wood, it was only 50% at best. No buttstock mortise, no cupped buttplate detail, no sling slot, no hole for the recoil lug, the inletting was only about 60% tops, and the external profile was like a club.

I really like the late Panel cut rifles. Likely the last realistic variant for me to pick up...I doubt I will find a 1943 dated rifle in Canada.
