Still Tinkering--

Bill,
Another of your amazing weapons. Thanks, as usual, for sharing. It is interesting to note that the Germans were still tinkering with their production methods till the very end.

Much obliged Dude!!

late bcd

That is a truly mint example of a late bcd clear phosphate finish- the finish is not really rare, it is just that a lot of these were refinished by well meaning GI's thinking they were bare metal. The bcd phosphate started late in 1944- from looking at your rifle, I would bet yours is one of the last rifles from 1945- super nice rifle.

Hi Bill,

I thought you might like to see pictures of the bcd4 that I have with a similar finish.
