It is in very good condition (one of the reasons byf 44 are attractive, I guess) , I just bought an h block this week-end. It looks like between h and i, parts were getting cruder (your stock has a corn cob look). All the more so that yours is towards the end of the i block.Here is one of my Byf 44 all matching I Block .

Cool, my all matching byf 44 i block is in the 45XXX range. It's interesting to see the evolution of chattering of machining and then lack there of when bits changed...seeing process start all over again. I guess trying to get the most out of the milling/machining cutting tools. As I'm soaking up as much as possible, I am seeing lot of this in 1944...obviously so. Mine has same type of stock chatter and machine chatter in spots but a lot less on the receiver ring.Here is one of my Byf 44 all matching I Block . I know there common, But easy to find .

You are not alone. Mike and I have discussed byf 44's in the past and we were in agreement that if we were to collect just one code/year combo it would be byf 44. That code has it all. Laminated, walnut, milled parts, stamped parts, transitional late features, Kriegs features, late n blocks assembled in the end...I love byf 44's. I'm sure some were present on Omaha Beach too. Nice rifle btw....I know there common, But easy to find . Nice bluing on receiver. They grow on you. Thats why I have 5 Byf 44,s .

I have another I block that is even closer to yours in the serial range # 52XXXOn man. I want to find a rifle just like that. My high turret is a byf 44 I block and is serial number 53k. So close to yours. Always wanted a none sniper to match. Thanks for sharing
