    All marking seem consistent with a known matching g block bnz 41.

    Steyr had a large contract with the Navy in 1941, so not uncommon, but if its a true matching rifle, the price of it now at $5k is about right these days.
    Stock markings do look 'crisp' but don't look 'fake wrong' if that makes sense....
    Old bad info . The books from 20 / 30 years ago are out dated now .

    I know, that's why I don't own any of them.
    Just the thing for putting round holes in square heads.
