This query is not about ZF41 Scopes and their ring/mounts but rather the one piece machined sight base used on the ZF41 fitted rifles. I found there is rarely a picture of the right side of the base on the rifle in question most questions are on the scope/mount..Here it goes:
1) I assume, depending on the production year of the rifle and manufacturer, that it was stamped twice(righ side),once for mounting, second for sight-in, and as time progressed, it was later discontinued(the WaA stamping but not inspection). But when a rifle was selected for a ZF41 candidate, the rear site base was removed and replaced. Was the new base stamped with the WaA or was this step omitted throughout the ZF41 install lifespan? 2)Furthermore, I know on regular/non-ZF41 K98's BCD/AR's and the earlierAX/AR's the bases were stamped E/26 showing Mauser/Borsigwalde final assembly. I would assume the ZF41 AR44 with a WaA 135 on the top of the receiver(finished by Mauser/Oberndorf) would have a stamp at the same location as on ZF41 BYF43/44 commonly found on the LEFT side of the sight in the upper corner.. I've seen some ZF41 rifles(of the three manufacturers) with WaA on the rear sight base and some without. Is there any resource that could be some help? It would be great if anyone could provide photos!
