Default Re: 1914 shoulder stocks

Not all the Model 1900's had stock lugs, but a few did. Page 28/29 of Kenyon's Multi-National Luger book pictures a 1900 Commercial with a stock lug. In the same book on pages 54/55 are pictured two Model 1900 Lugers with stock lugs. It does not mention it in the text, but I understand that the stock lug has been ground on the carbine. Also, these stocks used a push button locking mechanism rather than the locking lever used on the 1902 Carbine and later stocked Lugers.

On the same subject, the Teddy Roosevelt Museum in New York has the case and stock to Teddy's Model 1900 carbine, but the carbine itself is missing. The carbine shown on pages 54/55 has the special rear sight, and the impression left in the case indicates that the carbine has that sight.
