Picked up several Mauser stocks this weekend, most I was able to determine what rifle they would be correct for. Looking for help with these last four.

This one has been heavily sanded, can’t quite made out the acceptance stamps on the right side. The SN in the barrel channel seems to have a letter prefix

This one is walnut, has bayonet lug and drilled for a cleaning rod, no takedown washer. Numbered in the barrel channel and on the stock keel

Similar to the previous stock. Also walnut, drilled for CR, no take down washer. Bayonet lug is marked e/77. Note the cutout in the barrel channel exposing the inserted CR.

This last one I am pretty sure is post war Yugoslavia. Not sure of the wood type. Not drilled for CR, no takedown washer, but configured for a bayonet lug, so it is not German with that combination. It is K98k length, not shorter like many postwar Yugoslavia stocks.

I think I have ID’d the first stock in my list, the one with the G 542 in the barrel channel. I believe it is a 1941 byf stock from the 937 Portuguese export contract.
