Matching original byf 41 Luftwaffe!!

[jbmauser]

Here's one I just picked up today. All matching, untouched original except the safety which I replaced with an e/655 armorers spare. Pretty scarce combination of parts and markings. There are very few flat buttplate, walnut, byf 41's that are Luftwaffe marked. It also came with a nice cgr 41 marked sling that is most likely the original.

Beauty!! Great pics! Better then the sellers that's for sure!

The markings look so much better on a walnut stock.
I really like my walnut guns.

Glad it got here safe.

WoOooOoooOoW!!!! Now that's a great looking K98, congrats Jeremy!

I'm still in shock that it arrived already! I don't know if there was some sort of time warp or what. Thanks to PR for the super fast import!

 

[CanadianAR]

And the cutouts! Criiiiispy. You just can't get that crisp of an edge with laminated wood.

 

[jbmauser]

That sling cutout with the raw walnut inside from the sling keeper wear is just fantastic!

Thanks!

I don't think the sight hood is the original because like you said it doesn't match the finish on the rest of the gun very well. I have several others and may try to match one up.

Great looking gun!!! The finish is so clean and it's nice to see one with action screws that aren't all marred up. Love that stock, does it feel considerably lighter than your laminated ones?

Well that was a great excuse to go fondle some other k98k's. (not that I need one)

So I can feel a difference and my scale shows my byf 42 laminate weighing .8 of a pound heavier.

You must be very proud to own that one. I much prefer the walnut stocks to the laminate especially dark walnut. Looks completely undicked with as well not even lightly sanded.

That's a nice Mauser with honest use but not abused.
That would go great with my 33/40 carbine that's in similar condition.
