Having only seen and handled one K43 in my life I was really interested in this video. The K43 in question "wandered" across the Atlantic in 1946 when a gent from York County, SC was "repatriated" following an exciting deployment to Europe in June of 1944. For many years that K43 was utilized, by the former soldier, as his go to deer rifle. Today his son has that K43 in his collection and makes it a point of utilizing it at least once every deer season here in SC in honor of his Dad. I know his Dad took a number of nice deer with his K43 and his son has followed suit since 1985 after the passing of his Dad.
As always, it is good to see some more history brought back to life and made to do its job. I just finished a G43 a month ago and that was an amazing items to go through and research and bring to life after the client had it in storage for so long. Mark as always, amazing information and great to get it from someone that knows what and how to do it. Thank you sir.
I am so impressed with your work, and I love how your personality comes across on your videos. Your approach is pragmatic, yet you also have a dry, comical side. I can tell that you love what you do. Please keep fighting the good fight.
Hey Chief, I see where you have it ingrained in you that your videos are for everyone. this is about information, and may I say I rate your show four "O" with an outstanding commentary of your integrity, personal commitment, mission readiness, and professionalism. where others are still tied up to the pier, you are ready to cast lines and set sail. Outstanding Chief. -Dave
Thank you Mark, I always enjoy and appreciate your Anvil videos. I'm sure with you as a master gunsmith/teacher your apprentices will continue your tradition of quality work for decades with the knowledge, common sense, technique, and work ethic you're imparting. You sir, are the master of your profession.
I'm gonna have to guess that they are filming near a building with corrugated metal siding on it to make it sound like that. That's what I would say given my experience I could be totally wrong though.
I think I had an opportunity to buy this rifle 4 or 5 years ago. I was in a small gun shop in Washington County, NY and was asked what I was looking for. I said I was into world war 2 era semi automatic rifles and was interested in a svt-40 or g43. I was shocked when they said they had not one, but two and half g/k43s on consignment. I remember one had a zf4, the other looked a little rougher but was in its original configuration, and then there was this one with the holes in the barrel for the sporting sight and in the rail and the parts for the gas systems in a bag. I was interested in the one with the zf4, but unfortunately I had to buy them all or go home empty handed. I had about next to no knowledge on what to look for when buying a g43, so I didn’t know if $6000 was a steal or a great deal and at the time that would have broke the bank. It was really cool to be able to pick one up and see how it worked. I remember it seemed a less balanced than my SVT-40, but definitely would love to add to my collection some day.
This is just the best channel ever, you Sir are a master craftsman and you make me laugh too. Both the wife and myself started laughing reminding us of Sesamie Street.
Yes I agree Nicholson # 49 and 50 a must for stock work they are mandatory at Colorado school of gunsmith .and yes my old ones are much better than the new ones the older ones are flexible vs newer ones are stiff and a little thicker . Good video mark
@@marknovak8255 congrats on you daughter getting married! If you don't like the fiancé you can just do something to one of his guns if he asks you to fix it... (nothing dangerous of course just something annoying, like somehow hiding a muzzle break on his rifle so that when he fires it for the first time when he gets it back it's REALLY concussive.)
The best craftsman channel on YT. I am mesmerized by the mechanics of those machines and you make a great job explaining what makes them go pop-pop-pop.
Just a respectful request. Can you credit the music? I love when I get to watch you do your magic to a sound track. Some of your lathe work sound tracks have been my favorite video and soundtrack combos and is where I discovered Edvard Grieg. Thank you.
If you mean when he was welding, I believe that it the Blue Danube Waltz by Strauss. It's certainly some Strauss waltz, he wrote a lot of them. I'm not sure who performed the work; it was written in the days before perpetual copyright, so anyone was allowed to.
Mark, before you give it back, inspect the firing pin carrier near the front end. The originals are perilously thin around a couple of the holes. Be prepared to reinforce there. Numrich number is #11 on their diagram.
A great addition to the G 43-K 43 is a 25 round Magazine. A MG13 mag can be easily converted by adding the same sized lumps as on the G 43 MAG. MINE works fine.
As always, great content. I admit, I've found myself rewatching the primer backlog lately, which has led to a question. I fully understand that you have a business to run, but what are the chances we can get some more of the Anvil back catalog that was lost in the move re-uploaded, Mr. Novak? I find the primer episodes refer to now lost Anvil episodes that I may have missed originally.
Im fixing a broke in half stock from a semi auto 22lr. Its from france and its older so they dont make stocks anymore. Its called gevarm e3 and its a open bolt 22. I ordered a 15 shot mag for it. Cant wait till its fixed.
THANK YOU SIR.FOR ANOTHER FINE LESSON ....I LOOK FORWARD TO EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOUR VIDEOS.EVEN AN OLD BACKYARD GUNSMITH LIKE ME CAN ENJOY AND INTER TO MEMORY WHAT WE CAN OF YOUR VAST EXPERENCE OF THIS SOON FORGOTTEN ART.OF GUN UPKEEP AND SMITHING....PLEASE KEEP THEM COMING.......
Had a couple of those back when Oz had a sense of humour about such things. The first one was missing its extractor. Apparently, that is the "great, undocumented feature" of the design. The extractor retention system left a LOT to be desired.Oddly enough, it would extract and eject, barely. Residual bore pressure? Black-Forest magic? Absolutely ZERO primary extraction in these "flapper" locked jobs A fascinating piece of history and engineering. Nice resuscitation work there, as always.
That's a head scratcher, isn't it?...You'd think that being "over-gassed" into the operating system, they'd actually have a relatively lower bore pressure......presumably too little to act like some blowback operated weapons do, when they omit the extractor entirely....Which is what it sounds like you're describing. Curious indeed!
I'm pretty sure you've got the correct composer. However, I'd reckon the piece is from Geschichten aus dem Wienerwald (Tales from the Vienna Woods) Op. 325
Very cool gun. You get all the neat projects, but I’m sure you also get your share of plastic, fantastic “operator” stuff too. (I like both myself but old Drilling’s and double guns are my jam).
At around 15:20 you're talking about the gas system and it's actually super interesting to know that nowadays it is more than recommended to change the gas system on your G/K43 as the originals were made according to the fact that those guns would be issued in russia where the temperature were so low that the gun required a much higher gas pressure in order to successfully cycle the bolt assembly and operate it. Used in normandy, these guns had to be adapted or the gas system would blow up. At least, this is what I've heard and it makes sense, will have to definitely double check that
3:28 so true, if you have original Nicholson 48s, 49s or 50s you hang onto them, newer ones made in Brazil are way more uneven on their cuts and plenty of cabinet makers on the internet have complained about them at length.
I would have liked to have seen the finish after re-blueing especially the holes you had to fill with weld. Have you done a video of a weapon that recieved a like new from the factory reset ie new blue wood back to perfect? I would like to see the transformation, I know and appreciate the idea that for a lot of the historical guns that you get in you don't want to erase the gun's history and it's battle scars are part of it's story.
Always a joy to see these milsurps getting a second chance at life. G43/k43 are a joy to shoot and I’ve had the same gas system problems, those shooter kits really make the difference. Thank you Mark for all that you do
I'm pretty sure I remember watching this before - but here's a thumb and a comment for the algorithm. Besides, it was interesting, and so worth watching again. :-)
@@konnigkratz I feel like I recognised some of the details...specific shots and camera angles. So I'm pretty sure (but not absolutely) that this was from the old Anvil, back when it was posted on c&rsenal. Mark also has footage on his channel of what appears to be the same weapon (a K43 with what looks like the same new furniture) at the range from July 2019: th-cam.com/video/IA95HcWRFDY/w-d-xo.html Mark has previously said he's going to gradually add some of the old videos to his new channel as time goes on - I'm guessing this is one of those reposts.
I have a question about welding up the holes in the barrel can we get more information on how that is accomplished without dorking the rifling and not blowing out.
Mr. Mark love your show and sharing of your knowledge and work. However, as a retired sailor, I must be a smartass and make another comparison that was missed when you said what do these two weapons have in common. Well they are both rifles and they both at one time they went bang or pew pew. LOL. Respect brother.
I never look at the episode numbers, and I always get about half-way through an episode before Mark says something that makes me realise I've seen it before. But whatever. My retention is garbage and I'll re-watch Anvil episodes on my on purpose sometimes anyway.
About that barrel welding: I assume that the holes did not go all the way into the bore, so did you drop a bit of rod into the hole first, or was it all filler rod?
Great video but I'll admit for myself that I am never bored watching you weld, and repair guns in any fashion, Now, the area of a circle calculation is Area = Pi x Radius^2 so if you know the bore size it is an easy answer, just subtract the smaller from the larger and convert to % (divide by 100 or move two decimal places). Mathematicians and 13 year old 'experts will probably mention there is a more accurate way to calculate this so I'll mention that I know, I took Algebra in the 60s...
Don't scrub your hands too much, and definately don't break out the wire brush. Just boil them for an hour or two, then buff them back and oil them. Bingo, good as new!
Have you thought of filming wide shots in addition to the close up work? My thought was when you want to show how you work, but are fighting with the camera, you can still convey the jest without having to always reset. I don't know if your shop can support the wide view, and I'm sure you have other people who don't want to be on camera, but it's a thought.
Mark, I was taught to always use non copper coated rods when welding on guns. I was told that the copper plating on a welding rod would mess up the blueing process and the color would not come out correct. Can you expound on that? Thanks for the good video, sir!
Not Mark, but my guess is that since some blueing is a controlled rusting of the surface, that any copper deposited from the rod into the weld won't blue properly since copper doesn't rust but oxidizes instead.
“We’re gonna try thaat... but we’re not gonna make you sit through thaat.”
Aww but I’m here for all that! I’ll even bring my own chips

Watching Mark work is like watching a painter paint. If not for painting it self, but the art of the craft.
If nothing else that pan over shot of the rolling block in the intro keeps me coming back to watch. Thanks for sharing another cool old gun with us.
I believe that the AR was designed in the '50s so 'liberating' the FCG from the K43 really isn't too surprising.
Just used some of your tips and tricks when restoring a 1898 Mosin Nagant, worked like a charm!
You Sir are my zen . Already used your instructions to clean up a VZ-52 . She looks great now and runs. "Out Standing" Thank you
i could watch hours of you working on this, not that you would want to film it, but i would watch, just to watch a master work
Thank you Mark, I always enjoy and appreciate your Anvil videos.

Literally out there doing gods work
that's a neat sound it makes when firing
That's mostly the sound of his microphone being overwhelmed.
I'm gonna have to guess that they are filming near a building with corrugated metal siding on it to make it sound like that. That's what I would say given my experience I could be totally wrong though.

Now, the area of a circle calculation is Area = Pi x Radius^2 so if you know the bore size it is an easy answer, just subtract the smaller from the larger and convert to % (divide by 100 or move two decimal places).

In summary...a hole 1/2 the size of the previous larger hole....has 1/4th the cross-sectional area..
Hey Mark I just wonder any chance you have Czech ancestors? Because surname Novák is most common here in Czech Republic! :)
my last name has Czech origins
Don't scrub your hands too much, and definately don't break out the wire brush. Just boil them for an hour or two, then buff them back and oil them. Bingo, good as new!

Ill add safe edge file to my gunsmithing tools list. this reminds me alot of fitting an ax head to a new handle
So even on lowest gas settings, it kicks the cartridges way over there?
I noticed that too
What tig rod do you use and do you have finish matching issues with it?
Thanks for the video.
Such a cool piece
Always awesome to watch your videos. Still waiting for the 600lbs gorilla
When you say “re-pop” wood, what do you mean?
Industry term for reproduction parts
I'm glad someone else asked.
Mark, I was taught to always use non copper coated rods when welding on guns. I was told that the copper plating on a welding rod would mess up the blueing process and the color would not come out correct. Can you expound on that? Thanks for the good video, sir!
Not Mark, but my guess is that since some blueing is a controlled rusting of the surface, that any copper deposited from the rod into the weld won't blue properly since copper doesn't rust but oxidizes instead.
I was wondering what kind of rod he used or typically uses.
Is anybody else jealous that Mark is welding in shorts? It's been dipping well into the negative digits here and with wind chill feels like -30...
Super cool stuff I only wish I could afford your skill
i know right
Plastic,cnc,investment case NO, walnuut,forged & machined awesome YES!✔
