I hope I'm not stepping on any toes, but I have a 1944 LSR serial #935X that needs a mount and I would love to have this one if you're willing to sell. PM me if soI put my barrel and receiver in a Sauer Made stock I cut posted above. New Photos added above.
I am going to try this mount below on a friends rifle who has the whole CE 43 marked LSR except the scope and mount. Any opinions on mount? Will be fitted at SOS. If it fits then I'm sure a deal will be made if he wants it. It's marked like a 1944 X Block Mount and most of these drilled guns I have seen so far are ff letter block. Maybe it's for a CE marked LSR receiver that got used in X block. Maybe for a X Block 1943 or 1944. Well it's an unknown and I don't think there are any others to make a comparison that I know of.
It has been milled on the inside edge to clear the receiver. Like I would expect a real one to be like for CE Marker Receiver Sauer Rail. I have had this mount in my collection for several years and just dug it out. See photos. Maybe it will fit?

Thanks Georg for your reply. Many things have been learned in the past like no BYF 43 High Turrets for example. These things no doubt run in batches, but it's close. Hard to never with this stuff. Could you post up the link to the W block CE receiver thread please? Thanks.Brian, from another thread it seems the latest ce44 coded receivers were used in w block. Therefore I would not expect a ce44 coded x-block LSR to exist. It would rather be coded bcd4 (just from my memory, if it serves me right).
Send me a PM and I will explain about this mount and you can tell me more about what your looking for.I hope I'm not stepping on any toes, but I have a 1944 LSR serial #935X that needs a mount and I would love to have this one if you're willing to sell. PM me if so
Could you post up the link to the W block CE receiver thread please?highest serial ce44 coded receiver
Can anyone tell me what the highest serial observed with a still ce44 coded receiver is? Recently seen one with w prefix on a ce44 coded receiver, checking Vol.IIa it seems that all with a higher serial were bcd4 coded. Doesn't need to be all matching, just curious as to when they "ran out of...www.k98kforum.com
Someone else already posted the link to the mentioned thread .. just wanted to add after a sleep that of course the LSR receiver is different. It could theoretically had been that there were ce coded LSR receivers still around while "plain" service rifle receivers with ce code were already used up. It though just isn't this likely. Additionally there are bcd4 LSR receivers assembled by J. P. Sauer & Sohn in the x block known.Thanks Georg for your reply.

Yes. Not many were made and not many survived. I’d be guessing to say more. If my mount fits my friends rifle then it’s a likely scenario of Sauer type mount in one of the X blocks. Maybe one will turn up someday.

Will try the scope in a couple weeks.It is an ambivalent discussion. The early pieces and the unicorns sometimes do help giving better understanding on the development and are beloved by those who already have "normal" pieces. On the other hand it is tough to judge when looking at something you hardly have anything else to compare with or is much different from everything else. But to get back to the topic, did you already try fitting that mount?
