I have decided to have a go at a none firing replica G41 w , which I believe was used in Normandy so will fit in with my re enactment gear. I realize that the G41 w was called a G41 after issue . I'm going for a early version with the plastic hand guard. I am not sure how far this will go .But so far I have made the stock (not the plastic hand guard tho) and fitted the but plate .
Picts to follow.

Re: Home made none firing G41 w replica
Here is the stock although softwood I will stain it to resemble hardwood . Not sure how I'm making the plastic hand guard yet . The stock doesn't have the correct internal detail as its designed around my replica parts. The but plate I'm not sure if it has a trap door . I believe it doesn't.

I have a stripped relic G41 barrel & action I obtained in St Mere Eglise Normandy so yes definately used in Normandy, if any use I can take some pics for you with a ruler for scale alongside.

Hi Chris sorry not been on here for a while but any measurements of the barrel. ie length and diam of the end pieces and rougth measurments of the front sling mount is it the same as a K98.
Thanks Andy
