In the aftermath of World War Two, Brazil decided to adopt a semiautomatic rifle for its military, in .30-06 caliber to fit logistically with the US. Curiously, they did not choose the M1 Garand, instead opting to begin domestic manufacture of a G43 copy in .30-06. The rifles were ready in 1954, made by the Fabrica de Itajubá in Minas Gerais. However, the guns had a lot of problems - not surprising when you look at the poor construction quality - and only about 300 were made before production was cut off. Ultimately the Brazilian military would continue using updated Mauser bolt actions in .30-06 (confusingly also designated M954) until adopted the FN FAL in 1964, built in the same Itajubá factory.

0:30 It's already rare to see brazilian firearms in this channel, to see this one was manufactured on the city I live brings a smile to my face
Itajuba is the centre of Imbel rifle works.
The itajuba guns factory actually made a very big part of the Brazilian armament, as i served last year, i still see some FAL and PARA-FAL, with a couple of bolt action mosquetão made by the factory of itajuba
I'm currently living in São Caetano do Sul and there's an Imbel representant 5 min walk away from my apartment. São Caetano do Sul na rua Nazaret, pode procurar no Google Maps. Eu sou tão feliz aqui....
Itajuba, proudly the home of UNIFEI. Anyway, I was quite surprised when I realized that Imbel had a factory not that far from the university.
@@Pommezul Not a factory, but if you google it, type the address R. Maceió, 607, CEP 09551-030. They represent IMBEL on most of their sales and they're excellent! Awesome work. If you live around here you can come and check their drills and I believe they can do the paperwork for you to carry or own a pistol with no hassle.
I am Brazilian and I confess that I had no idea of the existence of such a weapon. I was an Air Force military in the 1980s and what we had was the famous Kar 98 for ceremonial purposes (with original markings from Germany, Czech and the Brazilian production of the same), the HK 33, the Air Force's standard assault rifle, and the FAL, used by the Brazilian Army, in addition to other weapons ... but I never heard of this national version of the G43 ... impressive !!!
The Mosquefal? I used that last year in the TG.
@@GunsNGames1 Yes, there was Mosquefal but in FAB we never used it!
@@cbcarneiro1 I fired some rounds off that thing, pretty accurate, although I got a little confused with that drum rear sight.
Tambem não conhcia esta arma na versao brasileira
@@jorgeaquino3652 Verdadeira surpresa.
So it's a rifle based on a German design, chambered in a American caliber, built with a manufacturing philosophy fit for a Russian weapon...geez that's a mix.
A Brazilian rifle copied from a German rifle based on a Soviet rifle chambered in an American cartridge built with a manufacturing philosophy fit for a Pakistani rifle seems more fitting.

That's Brazil for you, pure mixing of everything.

I love Brazil.
Mosquetão literally means "big musket", gives an insight on how things were looked at back then
As a brazilian, it isn't uncommon to hear that word, even today, as a generic term for shotgun or hunting rifle
@@PedroHenrique-dh3bq nunca cheguei a ouvir mosquetão, geralmente só espingarda ou mosquete
@@karmotrine9180 aqui na região que eu moro, no RS, é comum. Na verdade "mosqueton" vindo de colono
As a Brazilian, I can confirm that the vast majority of the people is very ignorant when talking about firearms, and the anti-gun mentality of the past governments only made things worse.
Pessoal conhece o tal do Mosquefal aqui, e usam para treinamento.
"Safe" and "Fire" fits with portuguese "Seguro" and "Fogo", thats why the markings of the safety match 👍

Obrigado pela correção 👍
With the G43 being infamously overgassed, I wonder if the problems the Brazilians had were due to _not_ wanting to overgas the system
@Adam Halsey better safe than sorry xD
@Adam Halsey lmao thank you for your comment.
Adam Halsey I’m going to hell, I laughed.😞
Adam Halsey these days, it’s the sjws that want to gas people, they just don’t know it yet.😑
What I don't get, is why would they chose to make a modified version of an inferior design to the Garand, in the same caliber as the Garand, and yet they could have simply accepted/purchased Garands from the United States?
Ian: *Mosquetão Semi-Automàtico*
Me, an intellectual: Damn, Brazil has semi-automatic mosquitos? What next, Italian Auto Malaria?
Bahaha. Let me guess, pinoy?
Hahahaha Mosquetão means literally big musket. Mosquito in portuguese is mosquito haha
Mosquitos in Portuguese is "mosquitos". The name "O Mosquetão Semi-Automático" literaly means: "The Semi-Automatic Big Mosket".

“Well, how this thing happened?”
Yeah... I have the same question
Brazil got sloppy seconds in 1954, tried to make its own battle rifle, failed miserably. Ten years later, we embraced the FAL.
André Luiz Almeida Diniz like all of us did, glory to the FAL
@@MagronesBR2 and finally the locally produced FALs had decent quality.
@@GunsNGames1 praise de INDUSTRIA DE MATERIAIS BÉLICOS (Imbel). Taurus ain't pigeon shit near those guys.
Brazil had a lack of semi and full auto weapons in the 1940s. So the BR troops in Italy took a whole bunch of semi and full auto weapons from German stocks back home, as ordered. The G43s were used to make this.
My psychologist:
the G43 garand doesn't exist
The G43 grand:
Gewehr Garand 43 doesn't exist, it can't hurt you.
Gewehr Garand 43:
Grand Garand
It can't be a G43 Garand, because the 2 guns use different systems. The .30-06 cartridge was used by other guns, not just the Garand.

nice
The bolt carrier, the rear sight block, and other parts were Investment Cast ( lost wax process) NOT Forged! In both the G/K 43, And the M954!!!.
An effective manufacturing system ( less machining) and similar strenght to forging and milling;--- less cost producing part both on small runs ( no costly hot forging dies) and easily reproducible in large production
( c/f TRW M14s, investment castbolts and receivers.) Ruger developedboth aircraft parts and guns by IC in 1950s, to greater success and finish than early German processes.

G43-06
During my mandatory service last year, I trained in a small countryside military base also know as TG. We had a modified version of the Gewehr 98, it was converted to fire 7.62x51mm, had a FN FAL barrel and muzzle break, and G3 iron sights. But I never knew this one existed! Great video!
Ps: I trained with that gun because TGs are more like a tradition, only in capitals and bigger towns there are "real" military bases were they train with assault rifles, stay weeks in the barracks and have proper training, the only reason TGs exist it's because the mandatory service law.
That's EXACTLY what i was thinking when i see a mosquetão for the first time, and the PARA-FAL actually is a Frankenstein weapon too! Basically has almost all of the features of an m4 but without the forward assist, its a bitch when it jams, you literally has to kick the fucking bolt handle in order to eject the malfunctioning cartridge, my tenente almost lost his middle finger because of this
Sounds hideously beautiful. I want ten of them!
@@Авасн the handle is a bitch alright, during training my colleague managed to break the handle off while trying hammer it backwards, I never saw four tenentes going berserk at the same time
This comment section resumes brazilian firearms in a nutshell. I can say that because I am brazilian myself, and know the reliability issues some of our guns have. That's why the IA2 was developed. However, it will take some years until the whole army is equipped with it.
@@DemoralizedMan KKKKK yeah that shit is fucked up, but hey c'mon how can he managed that? Such a bizonho man, as my sargento PQD once said: "recruta tem mão sexual, tudo que toca, fode!"
Ha! I know this rifle. 20 years ago when I was a reenactor I collected gG43 and K43. At the time I entertained the idea about what it would take to restock these as G43 for reenactors. Thank for producing a clip on this. I thought that I was the only person in North America that had a clue about about these Brasilia Gewehrs. 😀👍
Pretty neat guns
I shot one of those while my mandatory 1 year tour in 2010 when I was 18. They had one still working in the warehouse for us to train at the firing range. This rifle is remarkably accurate, simple and functional design, and really fun to shoot. I miss the Army.

Eu desisti da minha carreira militar porque eu entrei na faculdade... no 2o ano da facul (2014) eu ganhei um contrato absurdamente maravilhoso pela CAPES e o programa Ciência Sem Fronteiras. Eu morei em Ohio... mas a melhor parte foi que o meu professor mais amigo é veterano do Afeganistão e especialista em guerra biológica (que tá fazendo uma moral boa nessa pandemia do COVID) ele me ensinou DEMAIS. Ele viu meu potencial e a gente virou amigo, aí um dia perto de Set/Out de 2014 ele dirigiu a gente pra visitar a fábrica da Ohio Ordnance em Chardon e esse pessoal é tudo sobre armas clássicas em 30-06. Eu atirei tanto nessa experiencia, aprendi a montar e desmontar e dar um geral sobre a engenharia bélica de uma arma de fogo, eu fico nostálgico só de contar.

*you're going to Brazil*
I've been a machinist for over 30 years and the finish on the forgings makes me want to go and slap someone.
As another 30+ year toolmaker, never waste time on a surface that don't matter. Time is money.
Doesn't it almost look more like it was cast then machined rather than forged?
@@mhans928 Forgings can look like that right from bar stock. The forging dies weren't all that well made it appears.
@@ringding1000 It looks like the exterior surfaces that might present a clearance or cut hazard have been roughly linished or knocked back with a grinding wheel.
Same here. I've only been machining for ten years but it still makes me cringe. They couldn't take half an hour to polish that!?
A while ago, I worked for Mercedes-Benz ( Australia ), and we got parts in from both Germany and Brazil. You could always tell where the castings and forgings originated from, the German ones had an excellent surface finish and were precise. The same could not be said for the parts from Brazil, sure, they fitted , and sometimes even worked as good as the German parts, but they were as rough as guts and gave us a lot of headaches.
our philosofy isn't precision but rather "if it works then all is good"
Brazil has a deep problem with industrialization. we kinda just dont do it.
A complete lack of formal education is to blame for that. A lot of machinists get to start early as shop apprendices and either never get a formal certification course before starting professional work or they DO start classes but abandon them as soon as they think they had learned "enough" to start working.
Fault of the factory in Brazil or quality control in Australia? If it wasn't the factory building the car, they probably didn't even know about this problem.
Gotta love how much Tokarev influence is seen here, and on the G43... Not just the gas piston system, but even fluted chambers... What a genius he was, and makes shooting my SVT-40 all that much more enjoyable.
Was your SVT expensive/hard to find? I'd love to own one some day.
No, back in the early 90's they were rather inexpensive, and not too hard to find in Shotgun News... It was the golden age of C&R collecting... Arg 7.62 FN-49, super mint Ljungman AG-42, cheap non-refurbished MAS 49/56, dirt cheap super nice M39's, WWII MAS 36, as new Colombian Madsen M47's, brand new Irish No. 4 Mk II Lee-Enfields... Plus many other I have (and pistols) were available, and so reasonable.
I hope you find an SVT-40, enjoy all it has to offer, and a real shame of the import ban... Canada gets them, and can/could be had not long ago for around $500.
@@JF-xq6fr sounds nice. Do you have any other WW2 guns like the SVT? I'd love to own a genuine K98k as well.
Thanks Sam. Currently as for US, WWII era I only have a really nice post war refurbed M1 carbine (Quality Hardware w/Winchester barrel. What a hoot to shoot, and a lot more accurate/effective than many give it credit for. My last "German" rifle I sold a few years back was an FN receiver Israeli K98 in 7.62.
Will add, to many folks surprise one of my favorite, if not favorite WWII bolt rifle is my full mum Japanese Type 99. Absolutely love it, and it has so many innovations (some arguably not very practical) it really was better than I think many make it out to be. Although never used in WWII, the Swiss K-31 is a true masterpiece, and could be had for around $75 or so! I love mine, and marvel at how this could be a military rifle of such beauty, fitment, and execution. Good luck Sam in your quest for fine vintage military weapons.
In canada now theyre around 700-900$

Fun fact: the factory that produced this rifle also took 1894 Brazilian Mausers (pretty much 1893 Spanish Mausers) and converted them into 28 gauge and 410 shotguns. The 410 is quite fun to shoot.

So cool! Every time you show up with some awesome stuff to show and teach!
Gotta love the unfinished, rough and raw work on those parts.
You almost nailed.
Hugs from Brazil.
Brazilians went to Italy after Germany sank a handful of our civilian ships, then we got pissed off and demanded some action from the president at the time (Getulio Vargas), the brazilian expeditionary force conquered almost all south Italy and Sabaton even have a music about it, "smoking snakes". Churchill and newspapers used to say that is easier a snake to smoke then Brazil enter the war alongside of some racial insults, and we did it and became the smoking snakes.
Actually the Brazilian government didn't have interest in surplus material, they wanted to make something domestically and those probably were just prototypes made for troop trials, maybe after that they would make some changes for large scale production, but, it took some time to test, tool up and than the FAL offer came and it seems more reasonable, a newer selective fire rifle that they could produce domestically with assistance.
Funny thing is we can't get anyting near a full-power semi-auto rifle here in Brazil, but you guys in the U.S have the oportunity to preserver our own history.
Welcome to País Das Putarias, here we don't know right from wrong and you gotta give us a lot of money, while at the same time we decide what you can do or not with your own life! Brazil, Country Of The Fuckery!
Você pode sim, mas tem que ser cac... Por que um civil normal não pode? Não sei, mas os burocratas acham que alguns são mais iguais que outros, então tem essa palhaçada.
Before moving on the the FN FAL, Brazil did use the FAL's predecessor, the FN49. The Brazilian Navy used a total of 11,001 FN49 rifles in .30-06, and one rifle in 7.62mm NATO. These rifles were marked with the Brazilian crest on the top of the receiver, and they also were marked with an anchor on the left side of the receiver.
It's always interesting to see weapons made here in Brazil, even more so when they are pretty much unheard of
Thank you , Ian .
What a cool piece, The fact this was done by a national armory and not some "gunsmith" in his shed is crazy to me since I used to own a rifle i bought at a shooting range several years ago that was similar to this being a G43 copy in 30-06, but mine had a fixed mag that was fed by 1903 springfield clips and the only marking was in english and done with a rotory tool, from memory it was "thirtee cal" or something i could barely read it... couldn't get it to work and i sold it after a few months
Fogo & Seguro
Yeah sure the rifles neat and all but what I wanna know about is where that incredibly cozy looking sweater came from!
Brazil did have M1 Garand rifles and converted some to 7.62x51mm using FAL magazines.
Wow. The way that receiver looks must have surely inspired a lot of confidence in the gun's users. :D
Good research. Good information about brazilian History.
Quite a find! A G43 in 30-ought would be quite handy.
As a Brazilian, and a great fan of this channel, I feel ashamed of 2 things:
1 - I've just noticed I wasn't a subscriber
2 - This video is 3 years old, and I had never seen it
Fantastic video, as always. What I've been told about / have read about the M954, the odd thing of producing a G43 well after WWII, was that the arms factory of Itajubá had mainly german tooling from the 30s - Brazil had quite close relations with Germany during the 1930s. As with many countries worldwide, we had our democratic turbulences after 1929 and a dictatorship installed. That brought a lot of German industrial stuff to Brazil. As stop-gap, interim solution, it might have seemed more practical to hastily produce G43s.
US military doctrines also were very new to us, as it was the French that influenced the Brazilian military since the early 20th century.
Even the Brazilians did not bother to polish the rough finnish. It honestly looks badass like that.. interesting
oh shit this was made literally not long ago, nice
also, greetings from Brazil Ian, we know our part on WW2 wasn't that much if memorable at all but still, it makes my day to know someone like you researched about it and allowed the world to know, thank you
In Itajubá - Minas Gerais, we have an state owned guns company called IMBEL (Industria de Material Bélico), was there this rifle was made. And about the variation built here in Rio, I guess it was made in the Arsenal de Guerra do Rio de Janeiro (Rio de Janeiro War Arsenal...something like this...), there they build some guns until today...

Good Lord, the porosity in that casting terrifies me.
I think the weird "new" serial number is due to the fact that Brazil still use some of these riffles for the conscripts in small cities. In these towns, we've got the "Tiro de Guerra" (Warshot) divisions, in which 18yr old dudes has to obligatory present themselves to the armed forces. Since they're not going to war at all, they can practice with 70 year old riffles.

As a Brazilian and a lover of old weapons and this channel, this was really really nice to see today!!! And you made the pronunciation pretty right!!! haha Keep up the good work Gun Jesus!!! :)
We use the mauser mosquefal in 7.62x51 for training and the Fal is the service rifle
Uma arma "brasileira" que nenhum brasileiro viu... mas que bom que parte da história está sendo preservada (infelizmente não aqui em terras brasileiras)

your pronunciation was pretty good, great video as always
@Alvaro Higino já viu a pronúncia de outros americanos? Kkk ficou muito boa até
Reminds me of when the Egyptians made the AG-42 in 7.92x57mm. They may have run into the same problems Uncle did trying to copy the MG-42 in .30-06, by the time they got things going, better arms were already available so they cut their losses and quit while they were ahead.
wondering if these are also rather overgassed just like the original...? With 30-06 it might be even more of a problem
I really didn't knew about the existence of this rifle, even tho I live very close to Itajuba.. The last 20-25 years have been pretty rough when it comes to firearm laws and unfortunately pieces of our own history have been overlooked by the new generations. Thank you for keeping our history alive, even tho that should be my people's duty...
I live in the city where they were produced... it always amazes me when i remember that i live near a gun factory.
Brazil was kind of late to adopting an auto loader. By the time they finally got around to ditching the Mauser rifle, the US had already adopted the M16 and it’s 5.56 Cartridge and everybody else already had an auto loader chambered in 7.62 NATO or 7.62x39.
thats because by the time we adopted the FN FAL we had defacto replaced the bolt actions with the large quantities of M1 Garands we had.
Didn't know this existed. Very cool.
I actually like the rough metal. Reminds me of post apocalyptic FPS DIY guns
I really don't know how Brazil fought against Germany. Back then we had a president Getúlio Vargas who was very simphatetic to Benito Mussolini, but nowadays we pretend it didn't happened. He is the guy who introduced gun control around here so nobody could overthrow him.
as far as i can tell, USA gave us a lot of money to do it

Que honra
Brazil also adopted the FN 49 in .30-06
The period between 1946-1964 is very confuse in development's history of small arms here in Brazil. The receivig of material in .30-06 and new ideas about a common pattern, made the Army thinks about the replacement of 7x57mm for .30, but it actually never happened. The M954's (this and the bolt actions) and the FN-49 was just small numbers, mixed close-to-trial orders, never fitting the Armed Forces in a effective percentage. Although is said that .30 replaced the 7mm, the 7mm still as practical caliber in all Forces, even in police units, until his true replacement for the 7.62x51 starting in mid-60's.
It would be really cool if you guys could have a look and talk about the new Brazilian Imbel IA2. It's very reminiscent of the FN FAL.
This is actually interesting.
Please, come to Brazil!
Aí sim
Very interesting Semi-Automatic rifle !!!!!!!
Oh wow, I had contact with many brazilian firearms, but never heard anything about a Brazilian G43 or a G43 chambered in .30-06
After WW2, the Brazilians were using their Mauser Model 1908 rifles (copy of the Gewehr 98), alongside the remainings of their WW2 firearms, most motably the M1903 Springfield rifle. Probably during that time, this weird prototype was made, but I doubt it has ever seen service.
In 1950, the military adopted the FN M1949 as the standard rifle, and used it from 1950 to 1968. Soon after, in 1956, the FAL came in and was adopted in large scale in 1964, as the M1964. The rest is history, as you can see, most of the military still uses the FAL today, besides being replaced by the IA2 rifle.
Also, the so called “Mosquetão” (literally “big musket”, spelled as “Mos-ke-taun”) is a designation to the M1968 MosqueFal rifles, and to another bolt action service rifles used in the Brazilian army prior to the M1968, like the 1908 Mauser.
The M1968 itself was made from the Mauser rifles, but was adopted just to made the 7,62x51mm the standard caliber as fast as possible, complementing the FAL in some places. Nowadays, it is used for cerimonies and for the “Tiro de Guerra” (War Shooting instructions).
It would be nice to have a video with a M1968, heard they're quite rare in the US.
I have one of the M954 bolt actions. Very nice rifle for Brazilian manufacturing of the time.
The brother of M954 is the Gewehr 43.
Bom dia, Ian!
Meu deus do ceu que reliquia que arma relamente esquecida nem no Brasil vc acha uma dessa
Very crude and fascinating gun.

Itajubá é uma cidade do estado de Minas gerais- Brasil. Essa empresa fabricou vários tipos de rifles. Eu fico muito feliz de ver no seu canal um rifle de fabricação brasileira.

Translation:
"Itajubá is a city in the state of Minas Gerais - Brazil. That company manufactured many models of rifles. It makes me very happy to see a Brazilian-produced rifle in your channel."

Sad to think that decades later gun laws here in Brazil dictates that .380 ACP is the biggest caliber a civilian can own
