The type E stock is wery hard to make, difficult stampings.

RickHi,
The Shoei was considered but is a solid die cast aluminum part that makes the rifle a bit butt heavy. That and it has to have the holes cored off center a little to fit and that is a big pin to do right. Doable but again, not what people are willing to buy.
Hi Sen24,
I have no way to verify the Shoie to an original past a kind offer like yours. I have a Shoie stock of course and a trusty set of calipers..... The Shoie is a solid aluminum casting though and is very a$$ end heavy and probably would add 1/2 to a pound of weight to the rifle. Wouldn't ever break though!
Still hoping to get your help on the manual when we get more parts made to do the detail pictures like on the type II.
Best regards,
Rick
I will definitely do the manual again. I’d also love to do the fonts and stamps again. I thought they turned out great and the serial numbers looked authentic on your current FG42. I can take a scan of my original type 1 “FG42” stamp and serial numbers stamps so we can make a set of accurate dies again if you like.Hi Sen24,

Great to read this as the Type II manual was excellent!!
Thank you. It was sort of a labor of love trying to make manual look like the original. I’m excited to help out with the new type 1 and hopefully make it even cooler.
