All,

This is not nearly as nice as the one posted by Mdarnell, but it is exciting for me to find as it is my first walnut luftwaffe stock and I love BLM rifles. It is a bolt m/m, the bolt is a late war JP Sauer and Son. Everything else down to the band spring matches. It is rough, but not terrible and has a great patina that my photography skills are not able to properly capture. Interestingly, this rifle would have the proper number for Mdarnell's mismatched cleaning rod, you have my cleaning rod (LOL)!! Let me know if anyone would like more pictures and I will do my best to take them. Have a few more to put in a follow up post momentarily.

Cannot beat the pre-war walnuts. Will always be my favorites. Awesome addition Will.
 
Thanks for the comments, it is great fun to find one like this. It may just be this rifle as I have a sample size of one for comparison, but the stock feels noticeably different than my MO from the same time frame. It has a sleeker feel and I saw that S/42 mentioned this as well in the reference picture posting. Not sure yet whether it is real or perceived as I have not measured each, but I love the stock nonetheless. I am now officially a BLM fan!!
