I just purchased all matching bcd4 (5329 y-block) from a member here. Nice, close up photos in about one week forthcoming.

Is it phosphate?
I have bcd4 3682x
It is a bolt m/m, phosphate, all other serialized parts and stock are matching.

Any thoughts on approximate build date for it, given what you see?
I would be interested as well. From what I have read though, it is difficult with Gustloff to point to the demarcation between bcd4 and bcd45. Clearly though, the x,y and z blocks were at the tail end of 1944 production, at least IMO. It is apparently understood the five number serialed rifles are 1945 production. I think I have that right.
