Nice DUV.
Though you should remove that plastic plug in the cleaning rod channel. The cleaning rod is supposed to screw into the retaining nut behind it. |

Make sure you get an adjustable gas system before you attempt to fire it...

If I can get a nice deal on a 41 like I did this thennhopefully, but at current prices I don't se it happening.
It's not going to get shot, it's a safe queen for me. |

Ugh...I shoot all mine including the G41(w)..just used it in a vintage 2 gun match last month.... it beat a lot of garands...heheh More than a few guys have kaboomed their all matching G41's and were unhappy afterwards....especially when you find that replacement parts might as well be rocking horse shit...and if they could find parts the value was reduced by half... At least for the G43 get the Apfeltor Shooter kit for it...better to be safe than sorry. The G43 has a tendency to crack the rear receiver between the three holes drilled in the back, you may want to examine yours to check... ETA Never shot mine, since the first one I ever had, I fired it once, and the bolt locked back solid....it ended up the bolt carrier rode over the sliding cover and stuck fast...but scared the crap out of me, and never had the desire to try shooting another again... Old crappy pics of mine, should do new better ones... Forgot I had the last one, a little newer...  Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File |

Also should mention, OP, that's a beauty of a BLM....nice untouched stock...cleaning rod and hood always a nice bonus...the G43 hood is not the same as a 98k hood....lots of G43's that are missing hoods have 98k hoods on them, and they always look too small (since they are)
That definitely is a high end example... |

Ejection is mild and most of my brass lands about 8ft away in a nice pile. Probably one reason I haven't broken anything... I shoot them because I can't take them with me and they were meant to be shot...lol  G41(w) Mad minute final shots |

I shoot mine fairly often..several times a year. I have a fair amount of spare parts...as I've been shooting these things for about 30 years now.

You got spares? I have a buddy who needs a few things for a G41 resto he is working on....

I've been on the look out for a sporterized version to shoot but this one is just way too nice for me to chance it.

Very nice. I had a 1944 K43 a long time ago. I paid $400.00 for it 30+ years ago, but traded it for a Mp40. Sold the Mp40 and bought my Ppsh41. But I do miss that K43. 30+ years ago original G43 magazines were $15.00 If I had known then, what I know now....
