I recently purchased a RC 98k that has some interesting markings on it.
I'm curious to know whether the markings on the barrel/receiver are consistent with a reworked rifle for the SS by Steyr.
I have Mr Laws book as a reference I'm still curious to see any opinions out there.

I attached (hopefully) several pictures but in case they aren't clear:

Left side-front to back:
Barrel: FP and then serial number.......... Receiver: Serial repeated for import and then "Karab98b" in script.

On top, over buffed out markings is: bnz and 4

Right side going forward:

WaA (cant read number) Weimar proofs "6" "43" "43" and then a block "5" or "S".

Thoughts?
Is it a RC that is a rework for the SS?

Or someone playing around?
