Thanks to @Muncher 1953 for the link. Yea, so it’s a post-war assembled example which is Czech rampant lion proofed. The “d” block swp-45 will fall into post war production. Pre-1950 configuration. I think swp-45 wartime ended in the “a” block. Post-war Brunn 1 started using up their wartime production parts as seen in the pics like the barreled receiver, etc. At this point, the rifle would most certainly feature a post war Czech stock which would lack the takedown discs, have the hole in buttplate for takedown, not be drilled for cleaning rod, but would feature bayo lug and stamped bands held with a bandspring. Most likely this rifle would have been built with a “winter stye” triggerguard as well.
What do you guys think of this? Its not cupped, but is it more accurate to this ones era?

good luck with finding something for $50 that’s ‘sturdy’, but basically any sportered stock that doesn’t have setback would work for a ‘basic shooter’ stock.
Yeah, I agree. Not sure I've seen 'anything' including junk this cheap. The really beat up stocks with some issues a few large online sellers had were $119-129ish IIRC, and they even sold out pretty quick.
Oh, I forgot about that rule. My bad. Thank you for the information though, it's for sure something i needed to hear.Posting live “on going” auction links is not allowed on this forum.
That stock is a chopped up mess as well and even if it was intact would be completely incorrect period and manufacture wise. What do you want to do? Do you want to put the action in a sporter stock or a replacement like it came from the factory with?
So you have an idea what to look for if you want the “period correct” stock for that action.….
Again, these are the features you should look for… “post war Czech stock which would lack the takedown discs, have the hole in buttplate for takedown, not be drilled for cleaning rod, but would feature bayo lug and stamped bands held with a bandspring.”
Make a WTB ad on the trader for one. I’m sure someone here has one that is willing to let go. eBay stocks are generally terribly overpriced anyway.
SOLD - Nice Czech K98k - Post War
For sale is a Czech K98k made by the BRNO arsenal after WW2. These K98ks were assembled with leftover parts after the German surrender. The receiver has been scrubbed of any German markings.
Those cutouts, man, I learn something new every time I come here.
Messaged!
unless there’s an eagle firing proof, or evidence that one was removed, you can reasonably assume that it was finished AFTER “liberation”. The pieces were likely made before April 26th 1945, because they bear German inspection marks, but rifles were assembled, test fired & then proof stamped. If it has a lion, it was test fired & marked by the Czechs while or after the russians were there. It was quite possibly not Czech forces used but sold for export hard currency.
The bonus to this is that those post-war czech stocks (or the Israeli ones that are very ,very similar) are often cheaper than the wartime German ones.
It does have several little waffenamts, is this the same ad a firing proof?
Thats a very handsome rifle, but no, the guard is very much not like that winter one. And I'm for sure looking about online for something I can use that would be more on the "wartime German" look. I think you have all spelled out what that means.
