Mauser stock.

**Sweeney** · 03-30-2011 08:25 AM

I'm going to be refurbishing a 1940 Erma built K98 icon

that had its stock butchered.... I mean "sporterized"... Would the correct type of stock be the flat butt or cupped for this variant?

Thanks!

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

I believe flat would be correct.

**Sweeney** · 04-01-2011 11:10 AM

That's what I'm leaning towards as well. I'll do some more research before I convince myself though.

I'll go with flat. Give these guys a buzz: Welcome to the RGUNS Internet Storefront. Good luck.

A flat butt plate is correct for Erma for 1940, it was changed to a cupped butt plate in 1941.

One stop shopping! Thanks! I sent the link to my friend... 'She who owns the Mauser'.

sweeney - try to find a copy of Richard Law's "backbone of the Wehrmacht". It gives a breakdown year by year of the specs for each factory.

My thoughts are that it can never be 100% accurate but it is a good starting point.

He lists both the 1940 Erma "#27" code and the later "ax" code. Stock should be laminated only, polished and stained. Both codes show flat buttplate fitted and the long 12 1/2" cleaning rod.

i wouldn't rely heavily on Backbone of the Wehrmacht. it has some good info but is also riddled with mistakes.
