Original German WWII MP44 STG 44 Sturmgewehr Wood Buttstock Assembly with Cross Pin
Original Item: Only One Available. This Wood Buttstock Assembly is original WWII issue, and is offered in good condition, complete with the securing cross pin. These are extremely hard to find on their own, as they are usually only sold with complete display guns or parts sets. The wooden portion of the MP / STG 44 is the weakest point of construction, so there are quite a number of sets out there in need of a nice butt stock. This example is marked on the bottom of the stock cup fitting that attaches to the rear receiver with cos 45, surrounding a Waffenamt WaAA44 inspection mark. This is the maker code for Merz-Werke Gebr. Merz, in Frankfurt am Main, Rheinland. This company made components for small arms under contract, particularlly the MP40, MP43/STG44, and MG42. The securing cross pin is marked M / 44. Condition is quite nice, and the wood has some nice grain to it on the right side. The stock is solid, but does have a repaired crack at the top of the stock near the receiver cup.
