Bought this nice '41 BYF from BigDibbs a little while back. This rifle came from an estate with two others and was found dissembled. Unfortunately, whoever reassembled them either couldn't find or didn't know about the value of matching serials and just built from the easily grabbed parts.
A few weeks ago, Rob texted me out of the blue, apparently the picker that had gone over the estate had found the matching parts on a second visit, thanks to Rob insisting that they keep a close eye out in-case they resurface. After some extra cash was exchanged, I got the parts, and am proud to present a now all matching, '41 BYF.
I don't think there are too many matching rifles that have been added back to the "gene pool" out there, figured this worth was sharing. Would love to hear any stories if anyone else has managed to do something like this.
I attached a few photos of the new parts and some general pics of the rifle. For some much, much higher quality ones though check out this link of the original sales post (click).
