Bodes, "byf" rifles have a "WaA135" on the right sides, not an "eagle H".
Every "bcd4" I have ever seen had a "eagle H". I can't speak for earlier "bcd's".

I appreciate the input! If anyone ever runs across a correct bcd stock, it would be great if you could email me about it. My email is sgt.schultz1@yahoo.com I look forward to seeing your dot 44 K98 U534! I have a friend who has an all matching Kriegsmodell dot.

This Rifle should have a Checkered Buttplate and also a BCD in the U blockOriginally posted by Willi Zahn View Post
would have Ser#ed Bands , The Stock as stated should have Eagle H and most
likely a C proof on Comb of Stock and Stock would also be Ser#ed to RifleComment

I do have to make one correction in my last statement if this is a BCD completed Rifle it should have a Checkered Buttplate , but if it is Sauer it most likely would not as I said in earlier Post the best way to know look at Final Exceptance Proof WaA749 Gustloff WaA37 Sauer. All LSR`s I have ever seen
that were BCD had Checkered Buttplates and All CE LSR`s I have seen Except for one had Smooth buttplates and this one CE LSR that had Checkered Buttplate had a BCD4 Rec. but Final Exceptance was WaA37 and Barrel was same WaA37 Either way the Collector has a Nice LSR and even thought Stock is not Correct the best part is Mount Matches and that is hard to come by and
in my opinion the Hardest Scope & Mount LSR to find is this First Model Dow & Machined Ring Mount and again it matchesComment

I can tell from the font of the serial and letter suffix, along with the small firing proof that this one is a JP Sauer.Comment

I just got out a magnifying glass to check out the WaA on the top of the receiver... It isn't a 749, as I previously thought, but is in fact 37. I never bothered to look real close, as I thought it was a Gustlof rifle, being bcd coded. I have a couple other bcd rifles, and they are both clearly 749, so I had never bothered to check this one real closely...

Very cool!Originally posted by Col.Klink View Post
To echo "Single Claw's" comments, an early machined band LSR with scope and mount matching is a great find!Willi

I know the photo is not great, but in "Receiver Photo #2" the E/37 proof is visible in the lower right hand corner of the photo.
Great information on Grant's rifle - thanks for the informative posts!Comment

Am I correct in saying (an assumption on my part) that the receiver only was sent to Sauer from Gustlof where it was completed into a scoped rifle?
If this is correct then he would in fact need a 44 vintage JP Sauer stock.Comment
-
Apparently so. Mike and several others have said that I needed a Sauer stock instead of a bcd stock.Comment
-
I guess that I missed that. Basically the guy on the first page kept suggesting that this was a JP Sauer made rifle...which it has proven to be, albeit using a Gustlof made receiver....but apparently that is the only non Sauer made rifle part...scope and mount excepted.Originally posted by Col.Klink View Post
My confusion until now,given my lack of detailed knowledge of the LSR, was that I thought that a bcd made rifle had only been scope fitted at Sauer rather than actually assembled there from a bcd reciever.Comment
