That hammer is for an M2, you could use it on an M1 but would need to put a spacer alongside it. Nice collection of good stuff! - Bob

Some more bad stock pics. I took all these pics with my cell phone. Early M2 stock.

Spacer meaning a washer. Do not shoot it without a washer by the hammer.
M2 stock is a Bubba job.

The stock looks a lot better then in the pics. My cell phone does really well at close ups but not to good at 4'or 5'. I'm waiting for the hand guard I got off Gun Broker to come in. It looked like it's in really bad shape and should be fun to clean up. :)

Type III WWII replacement hammers are cheap. Look for a WA or W (For White) to save some $$.

Thanks painter777 ! I'll probably use the one I got unless I have problems with it. :)

I've got a hammer like yours. I believe I measured one time, and found a washer that was just right to use with it that measured .058" thick. JimF4m1s gave me a new Type 3, so never installed the other one. Thanks Jim! :thup: - Bob

I don't think it is. I had it and it was identical to the other early M2 stock I had. It wasn't carved out, but a milling machine was used. The interior "finish" of the stock is even throughout.

I thought he may have been referring to me changing the finish. The M2 cutout has a factory made look for sure. :)

And I just picked up a really long 10 round Magazine off ebay for way to much money! LOL

The stock looks like a field revision to accomodate the M2 parts kit, possibly done at Battalion level or similar. You can tell by the remains of the bridge left in place. The factory M2 stock never had the bridge. Good stock for a rebuild or this project.

I heard that some of the late M1s had heavier stocks ? Then were converted to M2s? As far as what I'm putting together, it will obviously be a mix master as I'm actually trying to get as many of the different manufactures parts as I can. :)
