Specially for @Tiger 2 Tank to compare with the one he is looking at. Originally did not intend to post since the T-Block of 1945 seems anyway to be one of the best documented ones in the reference section, plus most are stone mint atop. Well, this one falls into that very same category. So nevertheless, attached the pictures. Always a bit tough with my setup to make the stock stamps perfectly visible. This one has a perfectly crisp stamp too.

it almost looks like it was made with a mill bastard hand file, but the contours are too regular, esp @ rear bridge. talk about stretching the life of your cutting tools!
machinist: “I got 97 receivers on this tool so far, try for 98?”
 
Thank you! Your photos are excellent. I never get tired of seeing 1945 rifles, especially Steyr. Awesome!
 
Awesome rifle! I have two BNZ45s with the suffix T. The SN ranges are 30XXT and 47XXT. They are both my favorites and the prize of my collection.

You should post them if you haven't, I have a bolt/stock mismatch that I restored with an S-block bolt, restored steyr stock, repro screws, original barrel bands, and I still am more proud of it than my 2 all matching rifles.

Very nice! Do you have the barrel code?
 
They both came with the original slings. The rifle on the left has the maker mark D&C on the metal keeper. The one on the right I have not found a maker mark.
