Hey bud, this is the only photo I have of the whole rifle. If that isn't sufficient I'll grab some more when I get home from work.

Hey dude, sorry didn't mean to say you thought it was sanded, just something I thought I'd mention. Here are some more photos

Is it an original finish?

Is that a good or bad thing?

Thanks!

Hello all. I have been in search for a late war sling to replace the repo sling on my BYF 45 K98. I'm not clued up on K98 slings and want to know what to look for. Markings, materials used ect. Any help would be much appreciated!

Thought I'd share my recent acquisition of a byf 41. Everything matches besides the floor plate. Another one to tick off on the byf production run.

Sorry for the delay here are some more photos. I contacted Mike Steves who runs the latewar.com website to get his insight on it. So the stock has not been sanded but yes, has seen a lot of oil which explains the dark appearance of the wood and the absence of proof marks. Whether this was done...

Hey man, thanks for the insight. I did quickly take it out into sunlight before I went to work and it did look a lighter compared to the photos I posted. I'll double check when I finish up and send through some more photos.

I took these photos in my dark laundry so that probably explains it. The stock is solid walnut and there is no signs of sanding. I'll try and get some more close ups of the chatter marks on the stock. I bought this rifle from a reputable source so I'm pretty confident he would've mentioned...

Thought you guys might like this one, my matching BYF 45 Kriegsmodell. Obviously you can really notice the late war features on this one. Chatter marks on the stock, no cleaning rod or bayonet lug and the welded & screwed in place front and rear barrel band.
