Mint k43 up for review.

Thanks for posting and keep us informed. Heard that book Hitler's Garands may be useful if not 100% accurate like Backbone.

Don't know where you got your info, But BBotW is an inaccurate POS! That book IS riddled with errors of about every imaginable sort! I sent Law a 1 page typed single spaced list of errors in his book (I still have my copy!) - he Never replied! The later updated edition did Not correct a single error in the original!
Darrens book is very accurate in all aspects.

I have hunted with a G or K 43 (of course I have mostly used mismatched rifles) since 1959 using both factory and hand loaded ammo. Never a problem, but you do not want to make the hand loads hot like you would a K98k.

Sorry Sarge My mistake. Meant to say Backbone has many inaccuracies. My error and I apologise.

Thanks Sarge! Guess I will stay away from the book!

I hope you get it. These are rare over here in the UK. I got to shoot one last year with the Army.

Cheers, Ade.

Thanks Ade! Very nice you Got a chance to fire one!

I would suggest that you buy the revised edition. While full of errors there is also a lot of useful info and the photos are pretty good excluding the photos of Pfake rifles.
For a better done and accurate book on the K98ks I recommend the 2 vol (eventually to be 3) set on the 98k called Karbiner 98k by Karem & Steves. For some reason they did vol 1 & 3 first and are now working on Vol 2.

I thank-you Sarge. I will check them out.

Well thanks for the help everyone, I gave up when it reached 5K.

5K way too much I just found a nice DUV 44 in Franklin TN for 2600 USD at the Military show there

Sold at $5,125.00 plus final incidentals like $32 shipping, etc. I figured that 5K would be topped...
