I figured about the same for the born on date as I found a '43 one that was only 1500 off of mine.
The magna grips were replacements and of course were non-matching. For what they are going for these days they will more than pay for the parts needed to get my Victory up to snuff.
I called Springfield Sporters and they had a complete set of Victory smooth walnut stocks and a lanyard swivel (I simply made a swivel pin from a drill bit) for a very reasonable price.
Springfield Sporters has never disapointed as to the condition of their parts either. Good go-to folks for C&R mil-surps.
Question: I plan on getting a lanyard for my Victory so would the proper one be the cord type with snap or the wire hook?
