K98k Laminate Stock Date and Supplier Codes

[Muncher 1953]

I get Monday, July 31. I think the only correction to your above is that the first week of the year is the one that contains the 4th.

I think we’re counting the weeks the same, but since Monday of the 31st week is July 31, (day 1) wouldn’t the 2nd day be Tuesday August 1st? The code is 2 31 4…….. 2= Tuesday?

You are correct sir. My bad. I outsmarted my self.

I do that quite often myself, hoped I hadn’t again, in public!

This is a late model stock from a Russian capture. Appear to me to be. Recoil lug #26 then butt end.

Not a complete rifle, but I have a duffle cut, flat buttplate stock, M.O. WaA 655 s/n 1330 q with stock channel date of 2-21-40. Also a faint ink stamp "5" in the channel. and laminate code "P" below the grip.

Found today a stock complete with metal parts for an early 1937 BSW in letter A. The handguard, numbered with the right writing fonts, is glued laminated! I had never seen glued laminated pieces so early at BSW!

I have a Norwegian M98k F1 1940 42 code, Matching (but for cocking piece, Barrel and bolt flat). 2 BYF 43s (1 matching but for extractor, the other is a BMM) and a matching 1939 42 Code-it's walnut however). Would the info from these be helpful?

Dear gents can I have some more information about this stock?

Dear gents can I have some more information about this stock?

looks like white glue laminate, large takedown disc but turned not stamped, from the bolt cut out ‘probably not’ a Mauser Oberndorf. date code on butt indicates 6th day, 42nd week of 194? Can’t make out the last digit. Initials/scratches on butt likely post war.

Is that 132 hh in the barrel channel? Kind of looks like it.

yes, thats in it.

 

[heavy_mech]

yes, thats in it.

Great. Is it slotted for a band spring or are there holes to retain the bands? Is it drilled for a cleaning rod?

 

[iRONM4N]

Yes! band spring is there. and drilled for ceaning rod. The shorter cleaning rod is too small to it.

So from these clues I'd have to say this is for a 1943 dou originally. Thanks for playing.

 

[iRONM4N]

Thank you for your info!

 

[heavy_mech]

Thank you for your info!

You're welcome. Last bit. Stock date would be Saturday, 23 Oct 43, which probably works with an hh block 1943 rifle.

 

[iRONM4N]

One more for you guys! The gun is under construction so dont mind the steel parts. I think its a Jugo or Russian captured/rebuilt stock. No marking under the buttpalte. There is 313 number stamped in the steel buttplate

 

[45Smashemflat]

Since I had these, I figured I would post them. BYF 43, 1601. Stock stamp looks like Ha 2 51 42. Buttplate is marked ”org”
