What is this rifle?

[RJ55]

Just wondering if you could tell me what type of rifle this is? A fellow I work with Dad just passed away and he always called it his German rifle.
Thanks RJ

That would be a Hungarian 43M rifle, made during ww2.

Do you know what caliber?

Also looks like the stock may have been cut down.

Do you know what caliber?

8mm Mauser (7.92x57)

 

[RJ55]

Thanks Just looked it up.

They were a substitute standard rifle for German forces.

Wondering what the average value would be considering the stock being cut down?

Can we have a pic of the whole rifle?

 

[RJ55]

He sent me only partial pics. Best I can do, sorry.

For whatever reason, I couldn’t see the pic of the cut down stock in the OP. Thanks for the repost. I wanted to see how much there was in intact parts.

Those are very scarce rifles. Unfortunately, finding another stock set to restore it is pretty much impossible. What is left is either a shooter for someone or a couple hundred dollars worth of parts. Complete, the gun would have been worth much, much more.

Should be chambered in 8mm Mauser.

Thanks for your response. I’ll let the fellow know.
