Bnz 45 bolt, barrel receiver data for Loewe
- Thread starter rockisle1903
- Start date
There is a "KM" (image attached), not sure of source. It does make you wonder if this was just an error considering its upside-down to the shield?
RI, have you examined the receiver for every marking? V/7 or other similar markings? They can be almost anywhere so far as I can tell, obviously used at Gusen as some form of correction or of similar purpose to the WR used at MO... According to TA, he said other such markings exist, so far I have not encountered another variation, at least anything that could be called consistent or having a purpose one can decipher by cataloging them.
Also, what is the character on the top of the barrel shoulder, usually a number but sometimes a letter, sometimes, but rarely, blank? How is the RS components marked?

These are mostly of the barrel, which are nice, but the receiver is where the V/7 markings are typically found, - no need for pictures, but look at the receiver, the rear tang that hold the rear bolt, that hold the TG in place, along its side, around the bridge, as often as not it will be there if it was marked. Not all are, I have been able to get some really good datasheets from knowledgeable collectors, and some collectors like you that do take the time to record things and check their rifles, so I do know some receivers do not have the V/7 and that it can be almost anywhere on the receiver (which is why I think it is a correction marking, receivers are critical parts, tolerances are probably incredibly important, even in SDP latewar quality assembly, - which would necessarily be a problem, even in crude manufacture settings, considering the circumstance of production by this firm at this stage of the war), but how common it is hard to tell because so few do examine the receivers in adequate detail and fewer still share the information (many people are one-way streets, plenty of questions, but have never heard of reciprocation…).
Anyway, try and do a quickie look-see and whether you notice any markings, could be partials or weakly struck, on the edges of the receiver.

The bolt matches itself, but not the barreled action. It does look like an FN bolt, however I'm not qualified to make that determination. Ten additional pictures of bolt have been added to the link in post #5 above.
