Description

This lot comprises four distinct rifle stocks, three constructed from wood and one from a black material, likely synthetic. The wooden stocks vary in tone from a lighter reddish-brown with a distinct black forend cap and buttpad, to darker, worn brown finishes characteristic of traditional military or sporting designs, likely dating from the early to mid-20th century. These examples are consistent with types such as Mauser, SKS, and other WWII and post-war military or sporterized rifle stocks. Several wooden pieces feature sling swivel loops. One dark brown wooden stock notably displays a faded circular stamp on its buttstock. The fourth stock is uniformly matte black, featuring a prominent rectangular magazine well cutout and an integrated pistol grip, suggesting a more modern or tactical style. No other explicit text or numerical markings are clearly discernible across any of the items.


Condition report:

The wooden stocks exhibit extensive surface wear, including numerous scratches, dents, and areas of finish loss consistent with age and use. Several pieces show minor chips or abrasions. The synthetic stock displays visible scuffing and general surface wear. No major breaks or repairs are immediately apparent, though specific internal components or fittings are absent.
