Charlie59- I am unable to locate the bits to transfer photos of the stock at moment.

To the comments about getting a USGI stock, I would be interested in what version people thought I should try for. I am guessing most would suggest a Post War stock to better be in tune with the rebuild? I looked a little and an authentic SA SPG stock is not an option for me.

But all the parts I have seen so far are SA. I am slowly trying to figure out what date range all the parts are. Here's what I have seen so far:

Front Right Leg of Receiver: D26291 (with a 7 above)
Op Rod: 7790722 SA
Bolt: D28287-12SA
Trigger Group: 6528290-SA
Safety: SA-11
Hammer: G46008-8 SA
Barrel: SA D6535448 7 53 198C (followed by orndinance cannon stamp and an upside down P)

Thanks

...for what its worth,I had a CMP ggarand with a VAR barrel that came with a Dane stock that was (as they say) barely good enough for a tomato stake....back in 2005 I purchased a Dupage stock(well before CMP started sellin theirs"....everyting 'dropped in' very nicely...the only thing that bothered me was that it was 'thicker' in profile and would require sanding to get it closer to an original profile unless you didnt mind it a bit on the "thick" side...

Attachment 15718Attachment 15719Attachment 15720Attachment 15721The SA SPG stocks that went through rebuild had the buttplate area modified to use the trapdoor buttplate. Sometimes the two holes were also modified to the same diameter.

Du Page might still have some old SPG modified stocks, you would have to ask ?
