In 1943 the success of the G98/40 German contract rifle persuaded the Hungarian Honvedseg to adopt a new rifle along with the 7.92x57mm Mauser cartridge. The 43.M, which had a Mauser-type magazine, was a G98/40 with Hungarian 35.M-style barrel band, nose cap/bayonet lug and sling swivels. The 43M's magazine release had to be operated with a tip of a bullet, while the G98/40 had a thumb-operated button for that purpose. Mannlicher 43.M Assembly Drawing and Parts List
Production data:
1943: 22000 pieces

1945: 500 or less

Total: 91500 manufactured
Production was interrupted several times during the 2nd half of 1944 by the Allied bombers and by the Soviet invasion of Hungary. Half-finished guns and parts and movable machinery were scattered all over the city, setting up a number of gunshops in basements and atticks to finish and assemble as many weapons as possible. Manufacturing continued even after the Red Army surrounded Budapest. Delivery was direct from the assembly line or from the small gunshops to the front until the Soviets took over the weapon factories and gunshops in a street-by-street fight, Heroic street fighting by the Hungarians was continued long after the Red Army declared that Budapest is taken. It was only 11 years later when the Hungarians were fighting the Soviets again in Budapest during the 1956 Hungarian Freedom Fight
Based on unconfirmed reports, work began again using restored machinery in about 1947, but ceased under pressure from the USSR to adopt the Russian 7.62x54mm cartridge and the Mosin Nagant M1891/30 and Mosin Nagant M1944 type rifles and other Soviet military equipment.
