A note to anyone wanting to get a G43, modern ammo is way more gassed then what the germans fielded during the war and the G43's gas system was designed to compensate for fouling and icy conditions. Please do yourself a favor and buy a gas kit, it'll severely reduce the recoil, save you and your coveted rifle from potential over gassing/breakages.
@@taylorlloyd7804 not the smart type aye, overgassed means the gastube cycling the bolt is being put under too much gas pressure(from hotter powder in the bullet being fired than something thats 70yrs+) at the bolts piston. Its bad for the shooter gun and gas assembly
@@GunsOfTheWorld love your videos I just want to make sure you knew but gewehr 43's came from the factory with a too large gas port to help with reliability and for civilian shooting to avoid damage to the gun you need to get the gas port resized to avoid damaging the gun. with the way thr gun is recoiling so hard i wanted to make sure you knew so you can keep it from getting damaged

Like I posted earlier, change the recoil springs every 500-600 rds and it'll keep running without any over-pressure issues.

Yes you are correct. All of these rifles are over gassed and a new adjustable gas system called the shooters kit, must be installed to fire the rifle safely. 👍🏻
I like how in most games where this gun is featured you can just empty a clip in seconds with amazing accuracy while in reality your arms would just get torn to pieces
Man, those WWII rifles were something else! The weapons were so top notch they were ahead of their time. The M1 garand will always be a timeless classic.
@@hazzmati Your Life, your rules, sure. But when a life is at stake, having a weapon is 100 times better than having none. But, it's your life, you'd know better what it's worth.
Honestly that reputation came from GI's that brought them back who didn't know enough to replace worn out recoil springs. That's the number one problem with these rifles.
They are over gassed, but it’s from a combination of things Like mentioned, springs wore out fast partially from late war shortcomings and partially by the design. The springs are fairly small for what they’re supposed to counteract in the action. They are functional, but these rifles were definitely not expected to last 80 years. Their designers were more worried about the next five years. My ‘44 is pretty rough around the edges, quite literally really. A lot of polishing and smoothing is missing on non functional surfaces, tool marks are visible and the finish isn’t great, even when considering its age. Secondly, German wartime ammo was pretty hot for its day, but it does not compare to modern powders and pressures. M1’s suffer the same problem. Really cool rifle though Hits bucks like a truck, and doesn’t mar the meat too much either

If the bolt looks similar to a Tokarev, that's because it basically is. The first version of the rifle, the Gewehr 41(W), used a gas-trap action called Bang System (after it's Danish designer) which turned out it didn't do so well in adverse conditions. So when the Germans encountered Tokarev rifles in Russia, well, they basically yoinked the action for themselves.
I appreciate how gently you lay her down. Idc if it’s an antique or not, I hate to see RUclipsrs throwing their firearms on tables and beating them up unnecessarily. Also goddamn she got some kick and I bet that’s louder than hell
A friend and WW2 vet had one of these all broken down and in a box since he returned from the war, in the mid 1970`s, he challenged me with putting it all together, I did and then test fired it, a very interesting piece with butterfly lugs in the bolt that retract when the gas piston driven rod pushes the release back.
