I promise to fix this thread .. Going thru and RE-DOING ALL MY POSTS where the pics are gone .. Asking you to do the same if your pics are no longer available .. I'll take new pics and post 'em up .. I'll need a lot of help but this old thread has went far beyond what I ever expected .. Maybe it's worth it .. Maybe not .. There was a lot of beautiful wood shown here but it's now a BIG MESS ..................................

The pic that was below is the first piece of wood I bought right after I joined the files 16 yrs ago .. Bought from my old friend L/FN .. I still have it and always will .. Maybe I can get it done before I die .. Please help .. :)

AND TINY PIC STILL SUCKS (it's gone) BECAUSE PHOTO BUCKET FUCKED IT UP .. GREEDY SOB's ... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Of course I would prefer all Belgian wood but show me what ya got !!

I guess that old Inch wood too ... 😄

here's my favorite ... can't say where I got it tho !



actually it's waaaaaaaay tooooooo shiny .. I'm gonna fix it ..







not bad for an "issued" set ... in my very humble opinion !

101, I don't know what that is but I like it. Is that a type A lower? The barrel looks like an Argy I had. The top cover looks like a Canadian. Where's the bolt and carrier? As you can see I don't know much about metrics.

Belgium M1

Garyd1961, The top cover is Belgium as they are square/Flat walls on the side and back top of stripper clip area in design, The Canadians top cover is rounded on the sides of the stripper clip area. The Argentines look the same as the Belgiums with the plain muzzle and open ear gas blocks. The Belgiums adopted the design first and then later a lot of countries adopted the design of the Belgium M1's.

Do the wood buttstocks just come off by removing the screw behind the buttplate, or is there a giant spring lurking in there to only fly across the room when pressure is released?? Is there a secret?

Oh, and nice stocks...I want mine to look like that!!

Yes, Yes, and there is a buttstock tool you can buy or make with a rod that goes down the spring tube to capture the giant spring when the nut comes off at high speed.

Yeah, make sure you have somebody that you truly don't like stand behind the tube when you let her fly. Then ask them to pick up the spring for ya! LOL:rofl: :biggrin:
