I've never seen a stock keel marked "bcd"
What was the serial block of the rifle? P-block perhaps? Nearby?
Any thoughts on the bolt release markings? It's the same gun. It's "E/4 B 00". Never seen a letter here before. Seems to be replaced but from what I wonder?
Nice rifle. Beautiful ink stamp in buttplate. I personally find it hard to tell whether a sight hood is original or not if I dont have it in hand.

Congrats to your new and interesting rifle u96! You have removed the buttplate, do you have a photo of the stock too? Your stock data would be very interesting, we collect it in the thread "K98k Laminate Stock Date and Supplier Codes": Link
In general it would be nice when you show some additional photos, as example the barrel bands.
Regards,

Hi. There is no penciled manufacturing date anywhere. Here are some more pics. The barrel channel and hand guard are serial matching internally but I just reassembled the gun and don't want to break it down again for pics. Cheers
