Do you have a specific question(s)?
G43 was created from the failed G41W. Walther, ac, was the main manufacturer, secondary was duv, qve aka Berlin Lubecker Machinenfabrik, and bcd, aka Gustloff werke.
Started late late 43, ends when BLM was captured.
Mags from gcb, aye, acw, awj, avx, rqs
Scope mounts proofed e/359 and e/214, along with scopes from dow, a czech firm and ddx, aka Voigtlander, among a few other smaller rarer firms.

Fat fingers + iPhone. Haha. Thank bud.
Here is the history lesson for you, it's light, it's versatile but if you ever end up buying one, don't shoot it much, things will start breaking fast. It's not an SVT
SVT had their own issues as well. Stocks were far too weak. Taming the gas on a g/k solves most issues.
It's true about SVT but you just have to figure it out and than it works like a charm. Obviously, soldiers didn't have time or internet to figure it out like we do. Took me about 3 months and a lot of reading to figure mine out to the point where it functions flawlessly almost everytime trigger is pulled. 3 people put it through a torture test last weekend. Firing, running to a position and from position, firing, crawling, more firing, more crawling, some running than firing again, again and again. For 2 days... Rifle ended up dirty as hell but it worked great. 4 stovepipes out of about 200 rounds of milsurp. Probably because dirt got inside. Cleaning process and gas setting (mine was actually acting up, eating spring coils and choking bad when gas was set too high) are definitely very important. At least I can put hundreds of rounds down range without being worried that some internal part will break or receiver will crack on me
I played around with two 43's and both times owners were saying: " oh, don't go too hard on it, thing doesn't like it" One person doesn't take it out at all, just keeping it as a collectors piece. Second guy sold his.43's are rare, not that many of them are floating around. Especially in original condition. Something is not right about it. All matching regular 43 goes for more than that in Canada. Hell, matching K98 in good condition will cost close to that.
That rifle was not correc in many ways.
And thank #### for thatIt's not an SVT
