BNZ43 Single Rune

[biggymu]

Here is a BNZ43 Single rune SS contract rifle I have had for a number of years. It is all matching and shows some battle damage. I wasn't sure where to post this in the various sub categories. I think this is a large font BNZ43, correct me if I am wrong. Thought it might help with trends.
Numbered parts include:
Receiver 1728
Bolt body and safety 1728
Magazine housing 1728
Rear sight 1728
internal stock and hand guard 1728

Some markings:
barrel code: 5 W (in a circle) Ru
e/77 on rear sight sleeve
S on stock keel
looks like E/623 on pistol grip
has proper BNZ hood

Last one. The sling was on it when I got it. Looks like whoever was holding it had a bad day. Comments and opinions please!

Fantastic rifle. These are perhaps my favourite K98k’s, and this is a fantastic example.

That's really nice. One can only imagine as to the damage. Wish the pics were larger.

I’m still trying to get this file size thing worked out. Either too big or too small.

Nice rifle. I would love to own a bnz 43 single rune some day

That's about as nice as they come.
Love the damage.
Definitely a low rider styer marked stock.
You can see the shoulder and sling buckle wear on the stock.
