Are these armorer’s replacement safeties? Also , by44 bolt?

No serials, only Waa stamps , what are these ?

The E/623 safety may be an armourer safety as it is blued and has a little better machining finish. The E/77 has rough machining and could have been unnumbered on a late Steyr rifle. AFAIK, Sauer (the E/37 inspection) never stopped numbering the safeties on their rifles so any E/37 inspected and unnumbered safety would have to be an armourer part. So, I think it is possible that all could have been armourer or unused parts but my money would be on the E/77 inspected example as the one which would most likely have been taken from a wartime assembled rifle.

Box of parts also had this , late was bolt. From my research , FN made bolt for byf44 , right ?

So is my assumption correct? Fn made bolt for Byf 44 ? The extractor has Austria stamped underneath, is that also appropriate or it it some random extractor ?

yup looks like a late version FN as supplied to MO. extractor marking? I’d guess that’s a post war made replacement part, unless it was made in period, not used & marked w/country of origin when it was exported post war as a spare. as far as the Germans were concerned, there was no separate country of Austria after March ‘38.
