K43 QVE45 k block

[JACKDANIELS]

Hello,
This K43 must be one of the first marked QVE45, it seems that the K block is the transition block with the cases marked DUV44. Do we know if it was produced at the end of 44 or the beginning of 45? My early assembly fits perfectly.

Nice rifle. In the i block they marked some “duv44 K43” (as opposed to G43) and then started marking them “QVE45 K43.” So somewhere in the i-k block is when the full marking change took place. I don’t believe there is a J block.

Nope, no j block.

Wow, another gorgeous rifle comes forward!
