The G41 was Germany's first mass-produced semi-automatic rifle of WWII.  Approximately 125,000 were built between 1943 and 1944.  It was not terribly popular owing to its fickle, high-maintenance nature.  When well-maintained, however, it performed reliably and accurately.  Read more about the G41 here.

This particular rifle is a bolt mismatch gun built by Berlin Lubecker in 1943.  The bolt group matches itself and is from the same letter block of the receiver.  This gun shoots wonderfully.
