I haven't had time to post any rifles in a while. Had a day off from work, some rare sunshine, and warmer weather so am sharing photos of a transitional Steyr from late 1944.

A few more photos. I didn't change anything. It came with the Steyr variant sight hood, the cleaning rod, and the excellent condition sling. Note the "C" stock also.

I ran into it by accident. I don't always visit GI but likely should. I opened up the description not expecting much and ended up calling to buy it within about 2 minutes despite not having the funds to do it. The seller was very friendly and took the sale after hours. I had it less than a week after finding it. He told me he had it up for around 5 days by the time I found it. I don't know why it lasted longer than a day.

That's a great rifle. Love the contrasts. I also can't understand how it lasted 5 days? Congrats it's a looker.
It’s a sweet rifle congrats again!!

Well it looks like just the bottom of it has that appearance. But it’s distinctly blued, with part of it looking like a partial acid dip, but then worn/polished metal where the slide contacts the ramp so definitely a different finish there, that’s very interesting.
** Love the front action screw, only the second Steyr I can remember seeing with an as forged screw head, not ground or machined like normal. Here’s the other.
