passed on a byf44 zf41 today…

[learjet]

bolt mm, e block byf 44. NO e135 on the base bothered me, along with the stock cutout which might be ok. rifle was good and matched other than bolt. scope / mount later unnumbered.

im curious, are there any accepted as good 1st run (pre k or l block) byf44 zf41s without the e135 on the base? hows the cutout look to u guys?

heres all the pix i got.unlikely ill be able to get back to the rifle asit was in a small show and the guys headed home after tomorrow. i can call him though

only pix i got

thx for ny help!

E block should have the e/135. A mistake? Possibly but I'm not overly found of the cut out either. With those questions and the bolt mis-match I would pass.

thx, much appreciated as always. cutout was a bit short on both ends but appeared correctly rounded. no expert, as i cant seem to find any good zf41s other than a members here i was able to handle. i looked thru the stickies, and searched a bit and along with others ive seen i cant find any good 1st production examples without the e135

there is one though on p238 of vol2a, a b block, no e135

one day ill find a good one w no warts!

Hi everyone, I have a rather negative opinion on the cut. The curves seem too abrupt to me . Lower comparison photos with original stock, rounding is lighter

Small world! I know absolutely nothing about K98s but was also at the show and snapped a couple photos. Hope this adds to the discussion.

Isn’t $2900 a bit too low for legit zf41 with scope considering dealer pricing?
Red flag here to me.

Emilbusch good catch, seems the curve is tight.

thx for the extra pix! u pickup anything there? was a nice gen 1 SAA…tempting!

yea price was low, but i look at every rifle and try to judge it irregardless of asking price. never know wht you might find
