The dingiest/dangiest byf 45?

[Bob in OHIO]

Despite the dings & dangs, the dual tone rear sight is neat...

That's one deep a$$ stock stamp in pic #2. That's Drago style. Some fantastic stock character between the chatter and the knot! The dual tone parts look really nice on this example too. Good one Bob!

“dingiest/dangiest” . . . .

I love those “technical” terms!

Neat rifle!!

Talk about character- that has it! Reminds me of my bnz45 t block.

K98’s are like kids, no matter how ugly they are you still love them. I like it!

 

[Caesar1]

That stock is outstanding!

That stock

I am a huge fan of the sight base as well. That's a very nice shade of phosphate.

I love the chatter on that stock!

I'm missing the dingiest/dangiest variation in my collection.

Nice one Bob!

Astrawerke bolt? Do you happen to have the barrel code?

 

[pzjgr]

The dirt, dings, and bangs gives it character! I love it...

Bob that one is way too ugly for you, pass it along.

Finally one of us stopped drooling and asked those hard hitting questions we all wanted to know. Seriously the badness of that stock is killer.

Yes! Dibs

This really is a great looking rifle.
Love that two tone rear sight also.
Thanks for sharing this one.

While it's stark contrast is hard to miss I'm drawn to the variety of finishes on the bolt. The body seems a bit dull and thin. Looking at the handle in 4 it looks nearly in the white. Also in 4 I notice the contrast between the shroud and cocking piece/safety. Showed up later in 18. Also love the color and patina of the bottom metal in it's entirety. BiO, the more I look the more I love.

My byf45 is nowhere as rough,this looks more like late Arisaka rifles. Very cool.

 

[Absolut]

Looks like the Mauser Beaver made this stock.

FN bolt, BC is on the bottom, and haven't opened this up in 5+ years... E/135 is visible though
