Ok thanks. I happen to have a dou 43 here.

I have this laminated stock and in the barrel channel it appears to have a lower case phf stamp. No numbers except maybe a 5 near the cleaning rod nut. Nothing under buttplate either. Any ideas as to manufacturer? No waffenampts or serials but it might have been sanded at one point.

So this band was on the wrong rifle but looking at it closer I think it’s a 41-42 Mauser Borgiswalde armorers’ replacement band. No signs of refinish or serial number. Let me know what you think. Has Waa 26.

I have a bcd 4 with mismatched stock so this is too early for it but might use it anyways.

I think there’s an e on the bayo lug and a waffenampt, need to clean it up and check. Butt plate was wrong late war with take down hole.

That’s what I’m doing. If anyone has leads on parts let me know.

Also missed it has an f on the recoil lug.

Yes very close for sure. I saw one once which was an RC but I didn’t buy it at the time. This is a lot better than that.

Have a group of rifles that are mismatches and one was in this stock which I believe would be correct for a bcd 41. Small eagle H on right side. Has the a18 on take down disc. 8942 serial in channel and a z marked just in front of action in channel. Here’s some pics to comment on what...

That looks like it. I’ll get some pics up tomorrow.

I have in my possession an unfinished ce 43 side rail sniper. It was sporterized at some time unfortunately but is a matching barreled action with the thick side rail and the milled flat on the left side of the receiver. Is it worth my time finding the parts for this and perhaps putting a repro...

The rifle came from an 80+ year old WW2 Vet I knew who’d bought it years before. He didn’t hump anything as he wasn’t doing stuff like that. It also has an old GERMANY import stamp on top of the barrel. One person told me they figured a depot repair was the reason for the bolt numbering. Yes...

Saving the best two for last. First is a Kriegsmodell svw 45 'a' block. This one is all matching barreled action that was in all things, an Israeli stock set when I bought it. I swapped for a correct late 135 marked stock (unfortunately sanded a bit), found what I believe are correct bands and...

Just looking for feedback on these restorations I've done over the last couple decades. I used BBOTW for reference, first edition and I know it has some things wrong. I'll include a description of the rifle and what I put on it to restore it. Let me know what I've done wrong LOL and what should...
