Default Re: luger skeleton stock on ebay

I emailed the people selling this Ideal Stock. They do not have the grips that are necessary to install the stock. Special grips are required with metal plates under the wood grips to hook it to the gun. This stock was made for the 1900 and the 1906 Lugers by Ideal Stock and Holster Company out of Toledo, Ohio and California. I believe that the plant in California still exists.


I don't know how the current owner cleaned the metal skeleton without damaging the leather because the leather is riveted to the skeleton. Its possible, but you have to be careful. These stocks go for a lot more money than the just under $600 on Ebay. But you are taking a chance on being able to find the grips, metal plates and the four attaching screws.
