Hi andy,

The cupped buttpalte you see is one i put (not screw) for a better stay of the rifle on the ground near my mannequin...The original one is screwed on the rifle...Yes, there is a number on the left side of the buttstock ! A18596
Cheers
Pierre

Pierre, The serial number on the buttstock should be underneath (as you hold the rifle to fire it) between the pistol grip and buttplate....The number you mention does not match the serial number of the rifle.....Bodes

Its a Portugal Mo937 contract rifle, in Mod98 configuration, there should be a Portugal crest above the new serial number, to the rifle should be exist a matching serialed blanko bayonet. best regards,Andy
