I got a Polish Mauser stock from Apex. The price was amazing and I’ve never seen them for sale in bulk from a retailer (only for obscenely high priced auctions). I was extremely happy with it after cleaning.
Yeah it really pays to keep an eye on that site if one has project guns. It’s the same for these Berthier stocks. They very rarely show up in auctions, even rarer still in worthwhile condition so it’s really awesome they somehow got multiple in from somewhere in serviceable shape and for less than 100 usd!
Hobo i saw the Casual Collector stocks and they were in really BAD shape. Your stock there is great i could make that one look new.. almost. THANKS for showing !!
Thanks for watching! Yeah his stocks would take a fair amount of skill to make worthwhile again, it’s really too bad. With this one, I’m surprised how easily it cleaned up and you’re quite right, there’s definitely potential there to get it close to perfect.
This is more like it. Dirt, dents, repairs are one thing but those 52 stocks were questionable at best. Especially for the price. Those for showing us.
I saw the video on the 52 stocks just as this one was in transit so definitely made me a bit nervous. Nice to get a win every once in a while I suppose.
JESUS This cleaned up SOOOOO well, excellent job!
Thanks! Yeah it turned out far better than I had any reason to expect from a “fair” condition stock.
Looks great , you did a good job on cleaning it up
Thanks much! Fortunately the grime wasn’t very stubborn so it cleaned up pretty nicely.

I too am searching for Derthier parts as well, I would kill for a M16 front barrel band, still searching…
I would keep an eye out in the coming months, it seems like French stuff has been trickling in lately (like these stocks).
Is this the stock for the shorter model? What is the length of this stock if you don’t mind?
Yes, this is for the carbine length. The stock measures in at around 32 inches.
