Zadmat If there is any way for you to swing one of the original A4 stocks we saw on the auction site I would do so quickly. Originals are few and far between and you could literally wait years of another one to surface. About the only source for these are takeoffs from sporter projects and a few that were left over from the governments destruction program in the 1990's (600+ rifles!).

The two incontrovertible features that nail your rifle as an A4 are 1. the serial number and 2. the location of the receiver markings. Since your rifle shows some signs of an inservice rebuild the parts may have become mixed. i would not be overly concerned and i would ignore completely any suggestions that A4's were configured one way or another because of the wishes of some branch of the service. There was a war on - no time to send functioning weapons to Santa's workshop for tinkering.

Regards,
Jim
