Bring Back all matching rifle.

Duffel
cut stock and very rough wood work, with little or no finish sanding,
they were definately in a hurry to get this one in service at
the Front.
|
It
has an early bolt carrier with the take down latch, unusual, but
common in the d block. Lots of heavy phosphate finish and a good
mix of bluing too.
|
They
still took time to WaAC10 stamp the stock and the handguard. This
is only seen on very early and very late Walther rifles.
|
It
is also WaA359 proofed at the wrist.This rifle came with a complete
spare parts kit, except for the manual. The hardware on this rifle
is mint.
|
Commonly
called the "dual lug" rifle. Made in early 1945. I doubt it was
even issued and most probably picked up at the factory or a transport
supply column somewhere.
