    Volksgewehr 1-5 or VG 45, last ditch

    Hi all,

    I thought I would share my new find here in the equipment forum also. It is a ground doug example of the VG 45 rifle. Iam still about restauration of the weapon and some parts are still under construction as is the wood.
    The rifle is deactivated of course.
    I fall in love with that weapon first time I saw it in a book. If Iam right there were only produced some 10.000 pieces of this type.
    I would be interested if any other examples are out there ?

    It displays great together with some other Volkssturm stuff like the Panzerfaust and a concrete grenade.
    Will make a good set up as soon as the weapon is finished.

    Thanks for looking, Jens

        Congrats on a good find. Even though it suffers the ravages of time and Mother Earth, just having one is an accoplishment in itself.
        Please post pics when the restoration is complete.
        Cheers,
        Johnnie

          Volksgewehr

          This is a all original fully functional Volksgewehr I saw at a friends house. He has a very large collection of WW2 German stuff.
