Enjoyable Import byf 41

rttwlrby · 11-25-2007, 03:25 PM

I know to purists, an import is not at connosieur level. In that I have other all matching pistols, I don't mind this in my collection, as I tend to keep it out on the mantle, so I can handle it at will, without having to go to the safe.
It is: all matching frame and parts byf 41, with a replacement crown/N barrel, AND (are you ready??....) the dreaded import mark on the barrel !!
AND....(I love this part)...I believe a Russian capture, as it has an X stamped above the serial # on the frame.
The original walnut grips were so nice with aged color, I actually took them off, and put these walnuts on, so to not damage the others, as I handle the pistol quite a bit.

Here it is with a cdg 41 holster.

I don't find import marks as irritating as a reblue (although I own both)

Nice byf, lots of history there
