Wanted to share this G41 I just picked up, from what I can tell it's in spectacular condition and is all matching.

A no letter block gun, wow, that is early! Congrats, looks very nice, and a matching magazine to boot.

Great score,

Didn’t even cross my mind, when do you think it was produced ?

BLM likely started production of the G41 in 1943, they were awarded the production contract in 1942 but didn't really get tooled up and produce rifles until 43 if I remember correctly. Really neat finding one that early and matching.

Museum pattern room quality. Apply Renaissance Wax on wood & metal to protect it.

Thank you, I will definitely look into this. Have you used this product yourself ?

Use it for non-shooters that you collect. For shooters, long term storage use RIG. Friend polished a 10/22 barrel until it was glossy white. He applied Rig, buffed it until it polished. Rinse/repeat two more times. No rust to this day and he lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with its salt air (every droplet of fog carries at least one salt molecule). As for Renaissance Wax, it was developed by the British Museum, is PH neutral, microcrystalline and used to preserve wood, metal and leather. It is used by museum conservators worldwide and a retired NRA museum curator told me that that's what they used at the National Firearms Museum. I've used it for about two decades now on stuff I dont use. Apply, rub it in.

Again, that's a very pristine rifle you have there. Very purdy. Thank you for sharing.
