K43-g43 ac45
Rifle is built on a milled receiver from the French subcontractor that primarily supplied receivers for the BCD code Gustloff-Werk guns. Walther also incorporated milled receivers from the same source into their production. Any AC45 code "G43" rifle is fairly scarce. Judging by the serial number surveys, about one in ten AC45 rifles is marked G43, and built on a French receiver, so considering that about 40,000 AC45's were built, only 4000 were marked G43. The early 1945 dated guns such as yours, had an additional "K43" stamp applied, but this process seems to have been abandoned after a short time, as the only dual-stamped guns I have seen are all in the no-letter block.

Can anyone add any information on this gun? What would be an appropriate amount to insure this rifle--even though it is not replaceable.

No offense! But demand, i.e. two or more individuals competing for a item, that are able and willing to pay for it, is what establishes value. Not some half baked fantasy that what you have is rarer and more valuable then the grand jewels of England.
You might try the K43/G43 forum at this link, post quality close up photos.

There are some really knowledgeable folks who hang on the gunboards forums.0 -
No offense taken. The rifle is not for sale- I am just curious. It is not replaceable to me--that was a personal statement-not intended to indicate its rarity. 0 -
You might get a copy of HITLERS GARANDS. It will have quite a bit of info. 0 -
