Grandpa Nambu Holster Stock Kit
Saw this on GB...It's the same guy who replaces/machines ground-off Luger stock lugs...
Grandpa Nambu Holster Stock Kit Gunbroker.com Auction # 385242705 Started at $1,900.00 Buy Now for $2,100.00 http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/Vie...Item=385242705 I am offering for sale a parts kit for a Grandpa Nambu Holster stock. A near-perfect reproduction stock modeled from an original. Made to exacting specifications to look and function just as the original. Cherry wood body and lid, carefully selected. The telescoping neck locks in the full forward and retracted position. All metal and wood components are provided to produce a stock like ones that have sold for $4000.00. All that is needed is some fitting, finishing, and assembly. The finished one shown is available for $3750.00 but is not included in this auction. Please pass this information on to any and all your friends who may be interested in Nambu Pistols. If you have any questions please give me a call at 262-628-4669 after 5:30 PM CST or contact me a Heidiho1@charter,net.. I don't know the gentleman, nor do I have a Grandpa (or Papa) Nambu that it would attach to... ...But it is interesting... (I'll let someone else look up the BATFE exemption)

its pretty cool, but at half the price of an original (although I have never seen an original sold by itself) and it still needs to be assembled and finish work on it...

Ed, I can see he's caught your interest...Is he a member here???
I'm thinking...Luger prototype shoulder-stock/holster... Maybe an email/PM to GB suggesting such an offering would be interesting... (PM to Pistol Bill on GB sent!)

I got a reply from 'Pistol Bill' to my question about [perhaps] making repros of the Luger prototype stock/holster -
12-31-13 Phil, I can't say I have considered making the hollow luger stock only because I have one. What made me make the nambu stock was the need for 2 of them, and finding an original is near impossible. I won't say never. Bill I also invited Bill to join us here on LF...

...For a Papa, not the stock. Maybe we can talk Ed into having one made for his Nambu...
