Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Let’s see your “AR” Seat Heaters...

All that’s missing from your picture is a ultra possessive Healer who loves his truck. Very bad idea touching a man’s truck when a dog is riding shotgun...hint. 😎

AC Code
May 44 production
WW2 Walther 8mm G43
Hitlers " Garand"
All 7#,s match
No import marks.
Stock had been severely molested by previous owner.
That is my work to get it semi original appearing and presentable
Woulda been about a 2200 rifle if the stock wasnt fugged with.
Original front sight hood missing and cleaning rod
Bout 1500 1600 value in the pic.
Original mag alone worth 275 300 ish.

Ya I stole it for 275.......
Aint my job to educate a seller.



The 2 you mention were based off this and the soviet svt 40.
As were chezch vz 58,s and several other mil platforms.
Vz 58 is the apex of the design JMO.
The G43 was based off the SVT intially.
SVT is a supreior weapon and the grandfather of the design.
G43,s had metalurgy issues in the rear cradle area of the receiver.

275 bucks " didnt work" per previous owner.
2 days of me 100% disassembly and cleaning and assembly got it up and running.
Took it out to slumlords.
Ran 10 thru it fast as i could squeeze the trigger.
Next clip started failure to extract and eject.
Had a tiny screw adjustment for extractor tension and retention.
Feild stripped it , tiny spring pops outta extractor.
Fugg.........
We searched for it then had ta roll back to his house get a metal detector to find it.
Gawd.....
I coulda bought a new spring kit for the entire rifle for around 95 bucks.
Between that and the metalurgy issues.
Made the decision.
Was gonna keep it
Take it on a token deer hunt once in awhile.
Then thinking about parts to be found if somethng went south.

Traded it for my Arsenal SLR 100H type 3.
No regrets.....
Rather have a working tool than a collector " my precious type of thing".

They aint junk.
Drop a 3pd velocity single stage curved shoe in em.
Or go full blown and do a elftmann.
Put on a VG6 gamma 5.56 comp brake
Gun will run like a horizontal sewing machine needle then.
Will have ta rezero.

Be funny as fugg whipping this out if I would have kept it.
Lol!!!

Gots a pipe wrench, very long screw driver & a hatchet.

Lame, but loaded, just the same !

Lots of sweet ARs in this thread. Now that I'm in a free state I need to get into this game and build an AR pistol and an AR carbine.

Here is my build from scratch 300 BO 7.5 inch barrel, Anderson upper , psa lower, sb3 brace kit, float tube unknown manufacturer (guy selling them at a gunshow)

4 VZ-58's, amongst "acquaintances". .

Holy shît is that a CRT!!!

You're going all out vintage.

Uber badness....👍🏻😎

we're suggested to use the 6' distance guideline..........

one of these is a better choice.......

Alantic firearms is always outta the damn czech small arms ones.
Like ta get one someday.
Just the basic poly stock black one.

I need to educate myself on suppressors...It’s time to put a couple in jail.

Definitely want one for the 22 LR’s. The other can would be on a AR pistol in 5.56.

I’ve dragged my boots long enough...Time to do it.

😎

You gotta excuse my lack of knowledge

CRT???

Curio , relic t something????

Probably.



Some other dudes now, that I traded with for my type 3

The fugging magpies still don't know what's hitting them...

This is what it looked like when I got it.
The stock all bubbafied.
So I didnt have any qualms fixing and refinishing it.

Nazi birch and red laminate glue.
Holy fugg .......
What a mofo to get a finish to adhere on it properly.
Lot of trial and error work.
0 reference google fu wise.

Put up several threads on the rifle last year.
