A amtracs Member Jun 3, 2015 #1 I'm looking at a late war 98 it has a parkerized finish, is that original to those rifles, or after market it seems to be of a light gray color.

A amtracs Member Jun 3, 2015 #4 late war 98 thanks for the info, the rifle is on gun broker # 486695696.
RyanE Baby Face Staff member Jun 3, 2015 #5 That's the correct finish for a bnz45, but the stock/bands on that one are all wrong. See our Pic Sticky Forum for examples of what good ones look like.
