Sure:
From my August 10th addition of Shotgun News, page 65.
Stock Iron (only): LGR148 $69.95
Artillery Stock (complete) LGR157 $170.00
Navy Stock (complete) LGR158 $175.00
About a year or so ago, I bought some "old stock" Artillery stocks (sans irons) from Sarco. The quality was "ok" and the price was definately right!
The quality of these new Sarco stocks is about the same as the stock I bought from Slatters Armory of Alexandria Va., in around 1981 or so. Those were the "Odin" stocks they were selling at the time for all of $89.00. That was quite a bit then.
If you are looking for a perfect quality reproduction, you may just want to buy the iron and have a stock, made to original specs., by a real craftsman. Jerry may do these, but you will have to ask him. I remember, about a year ago, there were some really nice XXX wood Parabellum stocks on e-bay, but I can't remember the vendor or their price (high).
What I would be willing to pay for would be a good reproduction of the rare Parabelum stock modeled after the Mauser C-96 stock. This is the stock that the pistol fits in. I read, somewhere, that these were BATFE approved because they were of original design, though very rare. This would have to be verified before you could attach and actually use one.
