Hi guys,
Figured I would share my K43 AC 45, in the C block. Since I just got a scope/mount from Joseph Burke. On this forum. It’s the correct late war mount. The scope is early for my rifle. Couldn’t pass up the original late war base. As we all know, the bases are the scarce item.
Rifle is matching/correct. In terms to accounting the large variations of late war Walthers. Probably picked straight out of the factory.
AC 45 C block:
•Final proof marks complete
•All Matching
•Phosphate/blued
•Dual lug
•Updated Gas system
•Spare firing pin/oiler/manual
•Late war phosphate (buckle) sling
•Crisp un-sanded stock
•Bolt take down (disassembly)
Going through 100x references. I’ve seen many guns with darker stocks like mine (un-sanded). Then plenty, with extremely light blonde stocks. Was there sporadic light finishing of stocks? Or, just darker wood laminate? Years of dirt/oil, of course not from WWII? Maybe light varnish? Always puzzled me. Since I could never find a clear cut answer.
Nonetheless, enjoy the pictures. Welcome any feedback on the stock finishes.
P.S. Joseph Burke was wicked good to deal with. 100% recommend!
