The story behind it was it was captured at a rear echelon area from a guard who was not front line material and had rarely ever shot it. Nice rifle. Worth lots of dough.

Well, I can kinda see the Russians having a bit of an issue with it, lol. Even funnier is the fact that the Israeli army used de-nazified Mauser K98k's and had them retooled for 7.62 rounds.
I have a friend with 3 (count'em, THREE) G43's...now there's a sweet rifle.
