Darren Weaver&#8217;s book on the G41 and G43\/K43 rifles, entitled Hitler&#8217;s Garands: German Self-Loading Rifles of WWII. It was published by Collector Grade, so you really don&#8217;t need to know much more to make a decision. If you are looking for information on the G41 or G43\/K43, this is the best single book you could choose. Among other topics, it includes chapters on:<\/p>\n<p>  * Pre-WWII semiauto rifle development<br \/>  * G41(M) development<br \/>  * How to tell fakes from genuine articles<br \/>  * Production dates and maker codes<br \/>  * Details on Jewish sabotage of G43s made at Buchenwald (if I could pick a single G43 to own, I would choose one rendered non-functional by such sabotage because I see tremendous symbolism in an artifact like that)<\/p>\n<p>You can get your copy of Hitler&#8217;s Garands from Amazon right here:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/0889352755\/ref=\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/0889352755\/ref=<\/a>as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=forgoweapo-20&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=390957&#038;creativeASIN=0889352755<\/p>\n<p>Contact:<br \/>Forgotten Weapons<br \/>6281 N Oracle #36270<br \/>Tucson, AZ 85704<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By request from a reader on the Forgotten Weapons Facebook page (where we post upcoming teasers, among other things), we are looking at W.
