Pretty nice looking rifle . . . . but with the stock broken/cracked at the wrist, it will not be a "shooter".

Looks like the crack has been pinned and glued....I think I'd be more concerned with the phenolic hand guard warping from shooting than the stock breaking.....You could always consider buying a reproduction stock and hand guard if you are indeed concerned....Also it's a good idea to remove dust cover, as these can jam and break....Bodes

Thanks for the the comments what would you value it at? in this condition...

More information would be helpful....Is the bolt serial numbered matched?....It's an 'ac44' which is the most common maker/date for these rifles....The addition of the 'K43' is a bonus....Is the stock original to the piece?....Doesn't make a whole lot of difference as the proofs are certainly long gone and the butt stock heavily worn....The durafol hand guard is a bonus....Is it cracked or missing pieces?....Is the buttplate an original G/K43 one or from a K98k?.....Any parts/booklet inside the stock's door?.....It's missing it's cleaning rod which is no biggie, but also is the front sight protector an original or reproduction?...Bodes

For what you paid I think you are fine, not a "killer collectable" example but pretty nice for the money!
