It was a long year with many variations and some real evolution do u know the sn/letter block?

Beautiful and textbook! Looks unfired. I love L blocks you could build a collection of them alone. In fact I bet Bruce has that collection!

Beautiful.

Agree with Stan - the FP says to me it’s been ground. BTW the unserialled gustloff guns are not proofed. Hell theyre not even soldered usually.

Amazing chatter around the grip and wood grain. First class

I’d agree with all the above but the other way to think about it - and this is what cuts the value by half - is that there are many folks here myself included that would simply never consider a stock mismatch or bolt MM. I don’t mean that to sound arrogant and I respect that folks collect at...

here's 6996bb. same finish, cut-outs, small "k" in the grip. not drilled for a rod. red glue here. dd posted earlier was white, as is the OP example. no eagle/H of course. and again my gg semi is identical. I'll try and grab some shots of that as well.

here's what it should look like. this is 894dd so a bit earlier same suffix. this is the factory finish on the stock and consistent through this transitional period in to '45. My C block has the same finish, as does my gg block semi. note the same sling and bolt cut-outs, and it is not drilled...

Should also not be drilled for a rod and this looks like it might be. I have to say the stock looks like dou wood both in the sling and bolt cutout. And hard to tell but the eagle H looks odd. I wonder if someone “enhanced” the wood. Curious if it has the grip stamp. It certainly has been...

Yeah nice rifle I need one of them!

Oh I remember waiting for my copy of the KCN in the mail with more than a few of the articles by Bruce! And thinking at the time about how I’d never know as much as the “old guard”. I guess we’ve had a “changing of the guard”. I’m here pretty regularly and have made a bit more of an effort to...

Jeff that's sweet and clean -- looks like original paint! great place to start. and hey Tribute cars are all the rage. I knew a guy with a Z-16 too beautiful in red. kind of a sleeper and nice and light too. L79 is a screamer. Kissing cousin to my 302 -- just de-stroked. here's my 69 with the...

Jeff what’s the resto project if I can ask!? I’ve got a ‘69 Z-28 in the garage and a ‘72 Z that been behind the barn for at least 30 years that I’m about to roll out of the weeds and tackle. I’ll probably sell off a few guns to fund too. I have to say I haven’t been too active a buyer and my...

The stock is post war Czech, blued bands would not be correct for a T block, agree qnw TG not likely original and a mis match bolt is a mis match bolt. I think Aaron hit the nail - some great parts for projects but nor correct for T block steyr.

As to why late guns are popular, I can speak to my own reasons. That’s all I collect. I have a pretty extensive collection and all are from the last six months of the war. More variations to collect there than in the years prior! In the S block for steyr alone there are solid, laminate and...

S and T block rifles are easily the most common Kreigsmodells to find, and of any maker, and most are matching and in excellent to new condition. So it’s not a hard one that you might feel the need to compromise on. I personally would not buy a bolt mismatch for that reason. Having said that...

I need to replace the cloth yugo pads with correct leather does anyone make replacements? I know there were back when they were all coming in and shoulda grabbed them then. Thx john

I’d also suggest a sticky as this is a great reference for a rare gun.

Excellent looking q block. Hardest block to find. All blue except TG/FP is correct. Better finish overall also correct. I would not worry about missing suffix it’s a mistake not something anyone would question and should not affect value at all stock eagle looks sharp and crisp. The firing proof...

Well seeing the pic I’d say it’s less about the grammar than the gun! As others have pointed out the bnz 45 code first appears in the middle of the q block and runs just past the middle of the t block so that was the expectation. You had said it was an a block gun which would have made no sense...
