Nazi Germany in WW2. 8MM,Designed in 1941, 11 pounds, 21.5" barrel, gas-operated gas trap, 400m effective firing range.As you know these German rifles are on the EXTREMELY RARE list, especially a nice one like this. Good German surplus is drying up fast.I would consider this rifle an overall 90%. Bore and mechanism 100% no trace of pit or rust. Bluing has some black freckling throughout, I give an 85%, but dont forget the steel on any g41 is slighty crude, thats how they would leave the factory. The wood is original and has little to zero issues. I took the best pictures i could in order to emphasize flaws so that buyers could be confident. I actually think the rifle is more appealing in real life than in my photographs.
