I developed a great liking for the G/K 43 rifles immediately after I got my first one in 1953. I had been hunting deer with a bring back K98k and the 43 became my new deer rifle. Don't remember when I got my first scope & mount.
I long ago quit using a matching rifle as a hunting rifle! My current - for the past maby 40 yrs is a mismatched G. I shortened the bbl by 2 inches just for the hell of it since it wasn't a collector piece and replace the sporterized stock with a new one made w/o the butt trap and put a K98k butt plate on it along with the regular 43 kick plate. My current scope set up is a repro scope mount with a ruskie SVT 40 scope on it. NO way am I going to use an original scope & mount, which I did for years!
I currently have somewhere around 15- 18 G/K 43s and at least 4 scopes & mounts + 4 extra scopes, 4 original mag pouches/mags and an extra original stock. Here is some of the heard.
