Trying to identify a brass gun stock

**Meekumslr** · 10-01-2015, 03:14 PM

Hello chaps,
I have aquired some bits (all WWII) and with them was a brass gun stock (no markings) which appears detachable but I wondered if anyone knew what type of gun it would have been for?
I cannot find any resources on the internet and am completely baffled.
Neil.

You beat me to it Doug

For what its worth, my guess is it could belong to a harpoon gun. Harpoon guns often have brass hollow stocks, and I think the fixings on this one suggest it belongs to something very heavy duty. Just my thoughts. Doug

Wow, thanks Doug, that looks the best bet.
How bizarre..... It wouldn't have even occurred to me.

This thread is of course a bit outdated, but still here is my contribution.

A skeleton revolverstock of some sort. The Colt stock seems to be it's next of kin.
