First payoff for the Shoulder Stock exchange!

[Doug G.]

Reunited for the first time after 89+ years apart! I will let the forum members decide if my conclusions are correct. I got the stock from Joop today. When I initially slid the iron on the lug it was very tight. With a little effort and some oil the iron slid home and locked up tight! As some may know these irons were hand fitted and numbered to the guns. I have never been able to take one stock and put it on another Luger. This one although tight still locked down in the correct place. A word now about the man who made this all possible. Joop van de Kant kindly offered to trade me one of my spare stocks for the one we hoped would fit my gun. For this his price was $0.00! I did throw $$ in for the shipping here. Words cannot express my gratitude to this fine collector form across the world!
Joop, I owe you big time!
