Totenhead, That buttstock, looks a lot better with the black paint removed, and is in very good condition. I have a couple of Yugo buttstocks on Mg42s, one I have replaced for a WW2 German buttstock, the other is still waiting to be reunited with a German one! I am waffling, my point is neither are as in as good condition as yours, one of them looks more like a stump!
lebus12, That's no M53 is it? Looks like a Mg42 to me, and the buttstock looks WW2 with that metal band on, AA sight bracket, AA finger sight, waffenmeister added sling loop, and a converted bipod. The only parts I can see that come from a M53 are the pistol grips (the grooves on a Mg42 pistol grip go right to the edge M53 ones don't) as others have already asked, I too would also like to see some more pictures of this M53/Mg42?
Jonathan.
