Hello,
Looking for some help on a byf 45 purchased this weekend. I know better that a Mauser made Mauser needs a 135 proof on the wood, but I bought it anyway. That being said, feel free to confirm the stock in no good, I've planned for that outcome already. Gut said it could be a post war Czech stock but it looked the part on the rifle and I could not get past the awesome late war metal finish, or lack there of on the receiver both above and below the wood line. I'm posting today if by some chance someone can authenticate it as Mauser based on the numbers under the butt or any other feature, I'd hate to have assumed wrong and removed the stock later. Feel free to be brutally honest and please indicate why it is or is not a Mauser stock or a Czech stock so I can learn the tell-tales for next time. Also, if it matters one way or the other, the cleaning rod hole is NOT drilled.
Thanks,
Diehard
