A small batch of exact copies of the above stock was made. Structurally, it is a copy of the German stock Sturmpistole 3 type. The reference photo shows a simplified stock type III simplified all steel unpadded butt.
Below are photocopies of documents dated 1941, containing information about the availability of this type of equipment in the Wehrmacht, as well as photos of the original stock, taken as a sample, raised from the ground in places of fighting on the territory of Belarus.
The butt is made of steel and covered with gray-green paint spectrum 'Feldgrau'. Suitable for any model of rocket launchers / signal pistols of the LP-34 (Walther, Erma), FW Heym line. Currently, the item may be of interest to collectors, reenactors, and also be used for practical shooting of signal and lighting cartridges.

That is an impressive set of photos.Thanks.
I have not seen a good original stock type 3 in Australia. I had a chance to buy a poor example but refused to buy. My loss now.
I have most of the grenades but need the adaptor for the smooth-bore pistol to fire the grenades. Never found one before.

I meant that I need the barrel insert to fit the grenade stem . Does anyone have a spare one for sale?

Unfortunately, I have not. Come across on sale, but not often. In a decent preservation is quite a rarity.
As I understand it, we are talking about a liner?
