dou.45 weekend pick up

Well-known member
this dou. 45 had a thick coat of shellac. using the advice of a very knowledgable forum member, i used denatured alcohol to get it off. took a long time! the inside wood was never shellaced and the handguard channel shows the colors. follower is 135 marked and rear sight leaf is 42 over 655 marked. the gun is all original except for the bolt. it has a straight bolt handle. a couple photos show the rifle with a bnz 42 bolt. i found this rifle on gunbroker. hope you like it. :happy0180:

Are you selling (this is the trader and you did not.mention a price or terms)?

**Okay. Moved to correct forum.**

That was a good buy, I doubt the stock was ever sanded either. You need to oil the stock now, put some color back in it. Use ballistol or just gun oil, there are other things you could use but after stripping it it's dry - it takes a few days for the natural color to come back. Love it!
 
Very nice rifle, that stock looks great!! Can you show us some detail shots of the various markings on it? Congrats on your purchase and your work!

thanks deadeye,03A3 and heavy! 03A3 all the markings are shown except on the barrel at the wood line is marked dou and further down is an H and i believe a K as well.
 
Good buy AC! I Need A DOU45! I want one bad, but every time a legit non postwar one comes up for sale which is rarely its high price or it goes High, kinda like the BCD 45s LOL looks Awesome!
 
Oh, and forgot to mention, my vet bring back dou45 d block has a 2 piece sling like that on it.
