That's a nice one, congrats.
Do you confirm that the barrel code is 43 R 302 ?
It is for research purposes:

Hi everyone, I am doing some guesstimate work and I would like to know your own guesses to the 2 following questions (between byf 44 d block and k block included): 1) On average, how many rifles produced for one barrel blank lot number ? 2) On average, how many rifles produced per day ? My...

I really like the look of this part of the stock with the stamp.

Very lucky that delamination stopped right before the acceptance stamp on the stock! Great untouched example.

 

[Remfan]

I like it. Bluing looks good too!

Nice rifle…I am into it

I'm into as well. I like how near the delamination it looks like their is a knot in the wood.

Not common to see a knot at the surface like this.. It lifted off and the moisture and drying caused the splitting. Kept stable it wont get any worse.

Nice rifle, I too think the knot issue on the stock is cool, love the crisp bolt cut out too.

I have a BYF 44 c block with a S/N about 500 numbers higher than yours. It also has no S/N on the safety. However the inspection mark on the back of the safety is 668. The barrel code in 43 R 308. In addition it has a more rounded sight hood like the one on your rifle. I find all this very interesting.

Excellent looking example. Love the knot on the side.

Yes it is interesting. unnumbered safety only with inspection mark on rifles that were produced shortly after each other (they could even be produced in the course of the same day). Is it possible a factory error?
I think safeties stopped being numbered during k block byf44
