Are Stock Lugs All The Same
My stocks are not interchangeable! Neither are both my artillerys. On the left is the artillery with most wear! The logistics of fitting each must have taken a lot of work and time! The 1908 navy is in the middle with nominal wear. The is no wear at all on the 1937 Krieghoff. A stock lug maybe used only in production process and in the blueing process~ Eric

That wood rasp looks effective, but wouldn't a cutting torch been quicker?

Supposedly, the stock was numbered after fitting to the gun.
For commercial pistols, that's even more interesting. How did factory know future customer would want that stock. They did not know. Blindly making a stock for every gun could be waste. The most efficient way would be: matching stocks to guns after receiving customer order. Probably past statistics could tell them the rough ratio of gun and stock to make, so they could do production planning. For contract pistols, that decision was easy. The stock option must be specified in contact. |

Since 1914 all Lugers bear a stock lug and a hold-open, but apparently very few had a wooden stock.
I read that the actual stock lug was useful for the work of the tooling machines as a bit to hold while working on the metal. Sergio
