The butt stock looks OK to me. It is not a laminate.

Cheers, Ade.

Can you say what type of wood it is from the pictures? I've read somewhere that elm was used? Cheers

I cannot, sorry. I am in the gardening trade, but trees are not my thing.

Cheers, Ade.

Haha no worries Ade, I'm sure someone will chime in with the answer. Thanks again

The type of the wood is cherry, not laminated nor walnut. I am also in the gardening trade!

Thanks for that Figie, any more gardeners?? I'll have a silver birch stock please!

This is my parts kit, built on a Shoei replica upper receiver, with Shoei internals, bolt, etc., so it cocks and dry fires.
The stock mounting bracket is also Shoei - everything else is period German production - sling may be Israeli.
Mags are real, one NVA East German two original WW2.

Pit.

Anyone know what a V stamped in sling cut out on MP44 would mean? On K98s of course I know H for Heer, L for Luftwaffe, and K for Kriegs. but dont know much about MP44s and was wondering if the V meant Volkstrum or something totally unrelated like manufacture proof, etc.
