radom stock
so, i finally broke down and bought a ww2 radom. now i want a stock for it (i know, i'll have to machine the slot)
problem is, i can't even find a picture of a stock. i'm quite sure ther were never put into production, but surely there's a pic of one somewhere.
here's the gun;
an early 2 gen gun with take down lever. felt by many to be the finest pistol made in the ww2 era. pre german occupation numbers around 8,000, total production 300,000+ the pre war versions were highly finished and blued. the nazi produced guns had worse and worse finish as the war went on. the late 3rd and 4th gen guns were made in austria by slave labor and considered by most to be junk, in appearance and function. the later guns had no take down lever.

Hmm.
What NFA category is a pistol with a non-original shoulder stock?
Some discussion at:
Hmm, can't post the link. Go from the picture of the cased stocked set in

Please ignore if you have accounted for that.0 -
You will never find an original Radom stock because none are believed to actually exist. Although the early pistols were slotted, no stocks for Radom pistols have ever been observed and it is assumed that this is because the Polish Army simply abandoned the idea of ever issuing the pistol with a shoulder stock. I have a reference book; The Worlds Machine Pistols And Submachine Guns, Vol IIa, which shows two photos of what is reported to be the prototype Radom shoulder stock (it looks like an ugly triangular flat piece of plywood) but even then it is not known if the stock is genuine. When the pistol went back into production for a brief run in 1997 it was offered slotted and unslotted and a special shoulder stock was created specifically for the new production model. 0 -

yeah, those stocks are going for about $900, when you can find one. looks a lot like the c96 stock. the 1997 guns were made to original specs and were selling for around $2700, if i remember right. I think the stock was an extra $150.
i'd be interested in seeing the pics you have. there's talk of a couple prototypes in existence, but never even saw a picture.

The book is far too large and far too valuable to wrestle into my scanner so I had to take a photo of the page:

thanks mark.
that stock makes more sense given the era. similar to the artillery luger stock. the caption says the leather may be to attach to belt. could also have been to attach a holster to the stock, again, like the luger.
