Anyone know who has a type "A" Mauser stock pattern?

Northwood Gunstock, Type A and B

Thanks!

What they show on their web site is not a Mauser Type A stock pattern. Don't know if that is actually what you get or not. Does anyone know if they actually copied a Type A stock, or did they just make a pattern similar to it and name it as such?

Depending on your project, this could be very important, or not important at all.

Those are decent looking stocks on that site - as Marc said though, they aren't quite exact Mauser knock-offs. Almost every 'Mauser pattern' stock I've seen made here is far meatier in the forearm than the real deal. The schnables are also very different - Mauser B ones are less pronounced, I suspect because it lent itself more to mass production / finishing. A lot of the small maker German guns do have prominent sharp schnabels though.

The back end of the type B is darn close to the real thing.

I also would love to find a true Type A pattern - I will keep an eye on this thread.

I just went over and looked at it. To me it looks like a Fajen Euro-Classic pattern to me.

I checked ther web out too. They have a euro and then they are claimin a type a & b mauser that has abunch of drop.

Cant tell from those crapy pictures anyway.

How good or bad are northwoods semi's? All their paterns make me GAG

Those are not Oberndorf type A or B patterns. They look like Frieschutz Classics offered by Great American Gunstock, similar to some cigarette rifles or guild Mausers. I used one on a Brno ZG47.

Glad someone else saw the similarity. Hell, I thought they were a GAG subsidiary based on their stock designs?

Can someone post a pic of their Type A and/or B stock? I'd love to see one.
