Late World War II Nazi Walther "ac 45" Code K43 Semi-Automatic Rifle

This is a late WWII K43 rifle that was manufactured by the Walther factory in 1945. It has the late war cast receiver with the single bolt guides, with the left side of the receiver marked "Eagle 359 Waffenamt/K43/ac 45/3937a". The cocking knob on the bolt carrier is still on the left side with no bolt hold open latch on the right side. The action cover is the late war stamped version with the sliding dust cover. It has the standard front and rear sight with the standard length barrel that is not fitted with a muzzle nut. This rifle still has the scope base on the right rear side of the receiver. It is fitted with the standard late war laminated stock and hand guard. The stock has a single Eagle Waffenamt proof on the underside of the stock with the same smaller proof in the pistol grip area. It is complete with one original WWII "aye" marked K43 magazine with a single Waffenamt proofmark and an original cleaning rod.

Very fine with 85% plus of the original wartime phosphate finish overall with edge and high spot wear with some thinning on the action and bolt cover. The stock and hand guard are both in very fine condition with only minor handling marks on the side with light stock proofs. A nice example of a late war standard K43 rifle.
