The Ideal Stock/holster will not fit ANY Luger without special iron plates that fit under special wood grips. These plates will screw to the Luger using the conventional grip screw holes on Lugers. The special wood grips, that are required, are then screwed into these plates using other screw holes that are in the plates. I assume that the wood grips are thinner the accomodate the additional thickness created by the iron plates and to make the Luger more comfortable to hold. The screws required to hold the wood grips onto the petal plates are also smaller and have a flat head.
The Ideal Stock/holster is quite useless without the metal plate and its accompaning wood grips.
I have never tried putting the grips any other Luger other than a 1900-06 not only because they would not be appropriate but also because the dang things are not comfortable to squeeze unto my shoulder without padding. The conventional wood stocks are much more comfortable on Lugers that have stock lugs.
John,
I have to correct myself on a previous discussion with you regarding ViggoG's reproduction. I stated that the stock did not look original because there was not a flair on the sides where the gun slides into the holster. I was wrong. After reviewing photos of Ideal Stocks/holsters I realized that this was a misviewing of photograghs which make this area look flat from the side. I would have to see the end of the holster/metal stock (where the Luger is put into the holster) before I can say anything about the flair. Mucho sorry.
