What Rifle is this soldier using?

Hey,

I cam across this photo, and it is titled "German Solider with his K98, 1944."

However, it is not a k98. Look at the cleaning rod channel, and the oddly placed forward mag well...

Any idea as to what it is?

G43?

I would say G41, he's Luftwaffe too, thats interesting.

 

[CanadianAR]

Yes, looks like a G41W

Guys, that's a Sean Penn glam shot for his new movie on WW2 called "The Leftard" where nazis travel forward in time to defeat the second amendment in California and free El Chapo from the tyranny of uncouth Americans. It's probably just a prop gun.
