K-43 ?

[catfish]

Is 1180 asking too much for a K-43 in VG condition ?

Great price if it has sight hood, cleaning rod and dust cover. Prices on those have been going through the roof lately. I'd buy it at that price.

Enlighten me. What is a k-43 and are you talking about $1180.?

The K43 and the K43XL are a power hitter's dream. The K43 has a slightly over sized barrel, while the K43XL has a massive barrel just a little under 2 3/4". Both have a fairly straight thin handle. With most of weight up top you can really whip either of these through the strike zone. If you swing for the fences even when the third base coach is signalling a bunt this is the bat for you.

oooops! wrong K43. :eek:
Here we go:
From the little I know of these: They are German WWII sniper rifles, box magazine, in 8mm I believe. They had two designations the G43 and K43, not sure what the differences are. The last photo has a G43 above a K43.
