Can you tell me , please, wich are the differences between the Schnellfeuer stock and the one that shoud fit to my C 96?

The cutout in the wood on the left hand side of the stock above the latch in your photo was meant to allow the gun's full auto selector to clear the wooden holster. A normal C96 does not have this cutout.

Cristi,
I am from Brazil, and I do have a good collection of C96, including 3 schnellfeurs.
One of them is "stockless", if you want to trade the stock for the original to your gun, pls contact me, to see if we can settle something!


Does anyone have any literature about the 9mm schnellfeurs?
Regards,
Emiliano

Thank you for the usefull remarks. Also, the screws were misplaced, as @alvin said. So this eastern Europe stock has no more mistery to hide! I will bring the stock from my brother!

Attached is a document, dated 1942, with instructions to use the Schellfeuer, by the army wich uniform I wear at reenactments!
