OMG... I'm SOOOO JEALOUS!!! :DDDD

On your hands now Kiwi ?

It's still in the shop on lay-by Jim....hope to have in in my hands by the end of this month!
A contractor I helped out owes me some cash. He's being a slow payer.....but he does pay.
When he does, I'll have it couriered to me ASAP.
Richard, mine has no scope, but I'm very happy with the price! Looking forward to getting the rifle here.
And Smootik, I can't believe my good luck!

Great price kiwigunner , you are going to love this weapon , wanted one ever since i fired it live , with a walther g41m , one of the best that shoei did in my opinion , i wonder if they will do any more !! rich

Yes I'm certainly looking forward to it.
It was one of those things I happened to stumble across while surfing the auction site!
Just hope to find an MP/StG44 Shoei at a good price one day. NZ$2000 for older (no markings) model at present!

Wow! Would love to see a video of that one! Congratulations!

As soon as it arrives I'll post pics, a review & a video.

Nice modelgun - I am more interested in a real one at that price, HOWEVER - if I didn't live in this wonderful country - wow, that modelgun would be the business!

Thanks for posting the pics, and well done finding one in NZ!

Richard, the G41(M) is a Mauser (the problematic, but rarest one, a bolt action automatic.)
The G41(W) is the Walther version (less flawed, but still rare.)
Then there are the regular G41's (also rare, but with almost all the kinks ironed out - this pretty much became the 43) - a very abreviated history, please forgive me.
*Refer to Hitler's Garands if you are interested in further reading.

These model guns do not often come up for sale in the UK, how much would one be worth now?

Cheers,

I have no idea of UK prices, but they are on "special" here in NZ for NZ$2,499.99
And the (Gun City) will ship overseas.
