M40 Lahti

[Conny]

Hello Ron,
From my research, the Danes produced their own stocks and iron. The luger stock will fit but not as well because there is a slight lug difference (using Luger stock illegal also). The Danes only made a couple hundred stocks. Don't know how a holster was attatched but here is MY theory.

Most Lahti holsters have a "leather tab" at the bottom and some don't. I believe they screwed/rivetted the holster onto the board thru the bottom tab and inside under the flap to mount the top of the holster to the board. One photo shows the WWII Swedish holster attatched to the stock with a screw/rivet. One photo shows the WWII Lahti holster with the leather tab. Yes, this is MY personal reasoning and NOT written anywhere I can find.

These Danish stocks were discontinued do to the bulkiness and carry ability for a policeman.
Thank you.
