The moment I laid eyes on this rifle I knew I had to have it. Thanks to junglerot101st for parting with it. This is the finest rifle in my humble collection and one of the best byf42s I've ever seen. The first 3 photos are representative of the condition throughout.

All these photos are orientated correctly on my computer, I don't know why they became screwy on upload.

A fellow would have to look long and hard to find one in better condition. Nice find Nathan!

Wow! Gives new meaning to the term 'unissued'. Where was this thing locked up, in Hitler's coat closet? Beautiful rifle!

Looks awsome to me. Early ones like that are not an easy find.

That is a real beauty, wonder what its story is that it stayed so pristine....

In fact, if it had a pimp shined bolt, I'd think it was a Mitchells!

That is a crowning jewel for sure.

A stunning rifle! I really like the crisp, clear war eagles.

Finding 41 or 42 dated rifles in this shape is extremely tough. Great piece Nathan and thank you for sharing!

Nice example Nathan! My byf42 is one of my finer examples as well. Not as nice as yours but these are very tough to find in high condition. For comparison:
