Hey Buddy, is that an E/4 in your pocket?
I believe it and not surprised in the least. Standard G date wood with matching metal would approach that. Norway stocks come close too. It's as I always say, "find another one".
The reason I was bidding so high, is because I already have another single band WaA114 stock, so my intention is to now sell the single band stock, and thus reduce the net cost of the stock I got by hopefully half-ish.
I was the one that bought that
I've spent $1200 on a computer that crapped out after three years. This stock will last longer than that. Plus I know people that regularly spend more money on dumber things so I'm content with spending a bit more on something I'll keep for a long time. Despite losing my oil job some passive investments I have have been doing extremely well so my hobby budget has gone up anyhow.
Besides none of you guys got into mausers to save money now did you?
Nice work man! These early Sauer restorations are not for the faint of heart. I am in the same boat as you with looking for a dual band stock for a K date I am restoring. Found a couple nice single spring stocks, but no dual yet. Your success gives me a bit of hope. Until then, my rifle sits in a navy "G" date single spring stock.I was the one that bought that stock. Really wish the other bidder hadn't jacked the price up at the last second; if it wasn't for one other guy I would've had it for >$400ish. I have an early 1935 S/147/G barreled action, s/n 233a so it is correct for the two barrel band configuration. I've talked to guys about getting a repop made but I can't find anyone to do it. I've been looking for these parts for a long time and have had no luck so when I see something I need, I get it.

I'll post photos of the rifle put together once the stock gets to me. Almost done except for a bolt.

..barreled receiver and triggerguard assembly are s/n 233a, and the stock and it's hardware is all 3751a.
..the handguard ring is ground off of the rear sight base but I have a replcaement rear sight base. I'm deciding between having it installed or having a donor handguard ring micro-welded on but haven't decided yet!
