The G43/K43 rifle was Germany's attempt at an answer to the Soviet SVT-40 and US M1 Garand.  It is a fairly reliable weapon, but it did suffer from parts breakage.

This particular rifle was a veteran bringback and was built in the Buchenwald concentration camp.  It was all matching, but had been duffle cut thru the buttstock.
