[RavenOps]

This is a recent purchase from a valuable member of our forum. Although posted several years ago, this is a more comprehensive photo analysis of the original. I doubt this rifle saw many rounds through its bore. This is really an awesome rifle.

RavenOps, fantastic byf44. But I gotta ask, what exactly is going with this rifle? It apparently a no letter block, but seems to follow serial conventions more similar to something like an 'i' block. Also, the fit and finish is very reminiscent of late '44 production.

Yes, this is a hand-stamped one, given that the barrel code is 44 D 751.
@RavenOps : very nice, thanks for the numerous pics.

Frank,
Very nice example, and excellent photography! Thank you for taking the time to put the post together, awesome presentation!

MODS: deserving of a pic sticky?

Another nice rifle Raven. Byf 44’s are an interesting rifle in fact that there are so many different variations in that year. I have an all phosphate L block

Nice rifle and great job on the photo breakdown. Love the wrist of the stock, like a beaver made it
