New to me K43 qve45

Sent the question below to Bob Applegate aka apfletor a G43/K43 expert



Yours is a Veteran bringback that was duffel cut just behind the bandspring. Later, after arrival in the states, a piece of wood was grafted on. Obviously the original piece of wood was misplaced or lost.

Hope you don't mind answering a question.

I just bought a K43 but the stock despite having the serial number and waffenampt does not have the front band spring. See pictures

Is it a high quality reproduction or at the end of the war could they have skipped that step? The sling seems to keep it tight, I have yet to shoot it.

Any insight would be appreciated.
