1943 byf inbound

[jeffe]

After being out of the K98k game for quite a few years, I just purchased a walnut stocked, 1943 byf, matching numbers. I'll still probably look for a K98k shooter, such as a Russian capture to take to the shooting range.
How does this one look? More pictures added. Does the barrel look like a replacement? I had the seller check, and there is no duffle cut.

Yep looks like a nice honest byf43 with what looks like an original sling. Sweet!

Lovely example of a byf43 in walnut. Early example as well.

Nice having the walnut for sure. Thanks for sharing.

You can't just tease us with a matching byf 43 in walnut and only post pics, post some more! From what it looks like, it looks like a nice early byf 43.

what makes you think the barrel may have been replaced?

Yes, I agree. 42 (year) and D478 lot seems fine for this rifle.
