Hello, just picked this matching DUV 41 up from axis-arms website, price seemed decent to me and I couldn't pass it up. I think this rifle will pair well with my mint CE 42, it's a little more worn and I really like the looks of it. I plan on putting a real sight hood and cleaning rod on eventually, a repro rod just won't do this one justice. I've talked a little with Hambone about the rifle and he's given me some good insight. Only issues besides the missing rod/hood are non-matching action screws and missing the rear locking screw. There was a little surface rust as pictured but it cleaned up really well without any damage. The wood seems to be original condition, no sanding or refinishing at all. My main question about this rifle is the missing eagle/H/waafenamts on stock. The serial number and letter block are present on stock as is a "P" as pictured. From my research (and Hambone) it looks like this is a late '41/early '42 P block, correct me if I'm wrong. Has a decent bore and I will probably take this one to the range eventually. All comments welcome, good or bad...I'm here to learn. I tried to take pics of every small marking/number I could find especially below the woodline, let me know if you have any pic requests.
Thanks!
