you don't waste much time do you. thanks for posting it is good to see projects progressing quickly.
rather handy having an uncut stock on hand, plus access to a lot of the other bits (or close replacements). do you have the bayonet yet or is it on the to get list?

I have several M95 bayonets but I don't know if any have been altered to fit the M95M. Muzzle ring is slightly enlarged to fit the larger barrel. Would not be hard to enlarge the muzzle ring on one. I don't think they were re-marked.

According to Numrich, this is the one part I do not have any leads on. If anyone has one sitting in a box somewhere, please contact me. Numrich and every other online supply house that I've found is sold out of them.

Decided to go with the German style sling as it is the sling in the only period photo of the rifle with a sling that I could find. Still waiting on everything I ordered. UPS truck stopped outside the house today.......and went to the neighbors, I was bummed.

A part came. The Turkish hand guard. Spent about an hour shaping it and the front hand guard. Temporarily am using a lower band off a standard M95 for sizing purposes. Had to knock off the front sight to get the bands on. Worked out pretty well. I had to grind out a little off the inside for it to fit snugly around the rear sight, cut it to length and then cut it down for the barrel band. Then a small amount of shaping to taper the front and it looks pretty close to original. It is designed for a ring on the receiver end which the M95M does not use so that is not quite right.
Hoping some more parts come in the next day or two and I'll post some new photos.

Rear sight came today and after I figured out I wasn't going to pound out the pin, it took me two seconds to mount it to the base. Slipped right in and fit perfect. Little screw that holds the hand guard in place also installed.
Close call on the sight, I had my hammer out and everything but something just didn't seem right.

Yes, please post more pictures. This is an interesting restoration.
I like the cavalry sling swivel. It’s a nice bonus.
