My friend picked up this BNZ 45 barreled action SN 2923 in the T block with mismatched FN made bolt that matches itself. It has a un-numbered safety with a circled Z. Bore is pristine and he wants to correctly restore it as much as possible.
The finish is odd with some of it appearing blue and some looking like it was phosphate or possibly a combination of both on the same components.
The floorplate is marked byf. Also note the odd shape of the SVW marked trigger guard bow. Not sure if this is some kind of damage or a production defect. It does not interfere with the trigger movement.
Pics aren't great but show some of these features.
Other questions include:
What type KM stock does he need-laminated or solid wood type with the shallow bolt handle cut out?
Are the stocks still numbered internally to the rifle at this point?
Other stock markings?
Possible sources for these items?
Any other info will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Mike
