Deleted since I just found out what a "Rune" was. Sorry.

BNZ Single Rune

Hello, I found this Single Rune and I did not see it on your list. I think it is all OK, except it is a bolt mismatch. Seems to follow the pattern of numbered parts.

Looks like it's a legit single rune but the barrel serial number is added, but why? Maybe it's imported?
 
no, it has no import markings. I agree the barrel # is odd but it has the same sloppy steyr application as most do. I have no explanation for it. Matches the trigger guard and bands. All legit steyr fonts.
 
Not sure if you're still adding to the study or not, but I'll throw this one in too, just in case.

2521 (rec) bnz43 rune (big) ah (circle W) Bo E/623 (RC)
 
I wanted to bump this thread one more time, if you have a single rune or SS contract rifle that isn't on this list I'd be happy to get the info. From where I stand now, I realize now that I should have asked for right receiver markings on these, as now I find this aspect important. I have some of them already, but haven't added them to this list yet. Also, whether or not stock has Eagle H marking.

If you have one of these on the list, send me a PM if you don't want to post it publicly. I'd appreciate any info on right receiver as well, including bnz4 single rune guns if applicable. Specifically looking for e/623 inspections.

So, before I commit my theory/work on the SS contracts and single rune guns to print, I plan to publicly discuss it. Nobody has ever figured these out but I think I have a pretty good handle on them, we shall see.

Thanks!

Mike,

Here is mine posted in another section. No eagle H or final inspection on top of receiver.

Bnz/43

I have a bnz/43 contract rifle, receiver top no final acceptance, receiver right v/7 in a oval nothing else, receiver left blank, barrel firing proof and serial number 6545, barrel code Dc bnz/1 in a shield e/waA 623, rear sight 6545, leaf 6545 with a small rune on the bottom on the sight tube, front sight e/77, trigger guard e/135 wo/number, floor plate e/135 number 6543. this was a salvaged sporter without bands, with a mismatched bolt. Simpson should have this rifle listed.
 
I'll check it. Can you post a photo of the barrel code please? If not that's ok but it's interesting.
 
Bolt m/m. No external stock markings except a tiny wrist e/623. Blank RR and a circle V7 on bottom of the receiver behind recoil lug. Computer is stupid slow loading pics lately so I can't show much. Paul has more on this one.

SS Contract Rifle

I posted this rifle 09/19/2015 it's on page 30. Loewe made two nice comments on it but I guess he never recorded it.
 
Yes, this one should be in the trends sheets, - Mike has them already, so he should have the details on the rifle. Although I also have 20 or more pictures in the database too.

Mike is doing well on this subject, for the book, - original thoughts (theory) as far as i am aware, but fits everything we know of the rifles. What you think you know about these is probably wrong and I think Mike deserves a great deal of credit thinking this subject through... I changed some of my views on the subject when he explained his theory.

Sounds juicy, can't wait for the book!
 
A long time ago, a great teacher (Loewe :thumbsup: ) taught me the importance of barrel coding, and that is I think the key to this. I'm not done yet, but it's very close and should be entertaining for everyone that has one of these.
 
Barrel codes?

Has anybody ever compared the single rune barrel codes against the contract rifle barrel codes to see if one was earlier than the other? Maybe that was a way of separating one block from another. Just asking.
