Hello,
I recently picked up this sporterized DOU 43 for a good price. This is my first time trying to rescue a military surplus rifle and restore it back to military configuration. Everything that is still present is matching numbers except for the butt plate. There are no numbers on the stock but I believe it isn't the original one anyway which is why the butt plate isn't matching. I'm looking for some guidance on what parts I need to find to restore this as close as possible. More specifically what variations of the parts? I'm tracking I need a stock, rear band, front band, bayonet lug and band spring.
