**MP 43 GERMAN ASSAULT RIFLE (C&R) (REGISTERED DEWAT).

**MP 43 GERMAN ASSAULT RIFLE (C&R) (REGISTERED DEWAT). SN 382h. Cal. 7.92 x 33 (8mm Kerz). 16-1/2″ bbl. Model is MP44. Manufactured in 1944 by Merz Werk Frankfurt (COS), with Haenel mgf (Walt37) milled and cast parts. Buttstock is of the later lower profile type, for vehicle mount and marked “FXO”. Muzzle nut and front sight hood are missing. Ejection port cover spring not functioning. All matching numbers throughout. “cos” (Merz Werk) Marked receiver with Haenel final proof. Bbl manufactured by C.G. Haenel (Walt 37) “MP43” marked. Magazine is “FXO” marked (C.G. Haenel)and in excellent original condition without standing finish. Firing mechanism cycles properly when functioned by hand, and weapon passes function check, but action is somewhat stiff. ATF paperwork erroneously lists this as “MG43”. This may be corrected upon transfer. CONDITION: Overall finish about 50% showing considerable use, less finish on handguard. Some light pitting overall, especially on hand guard. Some nicks and gouges to metal, particularly on buttstock housing. Buttstock wood, however, is in very fine condition showing minimal bruises and scratches. Bbl is uncleaned, but has very strong rifling, and may clean up to be shiny. Chamber face shows evidence of plug being welded in. May or may not be able to be restored to a firing condition. Bolt face is pristine and untouched. Internal parts are darkened with patina, but metal is in fine condition. Wooden grips are in very fine condition with only two slight chips which do not detract from overall appearance. Although in need of a thorough cleaning, this is a fine example of an MP43 which saw some field use before becoming a DEWAT. 4-38837 JWK1 (7,000-9,000)
