NEW FIND.. BYF44 L BLOCK.. OG POSTER

[tsmgguy]

Late war byf rifles. Stocks can be smooth or chattered, stained or unstained. All are correct, as we see here.

This white glued stocks are not really typical for byf maker, right?

They look soooo good!

 

[mauser99]

white glue stocks pretty much become the norm of the big 4 makers left in 44/45 byf,dot,dou, Ce. Sporadic inserting some red and some walnut leftovers..

As promised.. Here is the other. This stock is a little more dry a little cleaner. 30k range, Smoother finish on the receiver and barrel. Bolt is fully blued. TG is late 2 screw type. Non KM stock white glue .
Both were found together presumably brought back together. this one missing the B.S. and upper band and hood. Cleaning rod appears phosphate.

Not my photos..

This one is interesting : according to Vol III, p.76, another one with s/n 70 047 was made out of barrel lot 44L19.

@a j s and @waw44 : if the barrel codes of your rifles are legible w/o disassembling them, would you please share them ? Thanks.

this one was more coarsely machined on the barrel and receiver

Similar milling cutter chatter on my 33K range "d" block:

hello,, sorry for the delay.. this one is.. byf/1 in "shield"'. 44D887 e/135

The perfect condition in my opinion. Lightly used closet guns are the best.

Nice wood...I can even smell it!
