Where to find a MG3 buttstock?

My BRP build is coming along nicely. I have two Yugo and one German wood stocks from my parts kits but I would really like to find a post war black/dark plastic/bakelite MG3 stock and be able to assemble it as an MG3 when in .308.
They come up for sale in Germany every now and then but I have not found a decent one for the money in the US or a way to ship it easily.
Anyone have a line on finding one or ideas besides trolling on Gunbroker? Did many of these make it to the US?

That is a lot nicer looking one than I have seen around.

I grabbed the photos from Militaria website in Germany. That place is sold out but at one time they had new in wrap ones (lower picture) and used ones (top picture).

I have a very nice "STEYR" manufacture MG3 Butt-Stock-Assembly that I would either trade you for a nice WWII German-marked Brown/Black bakelite butt-stock-assembly, or sell outright for $135 shipped to lower-48. It has been mounted...but looks new/spots of that storage-greese.
I've checked on the other Boards....and all I can find is the few wooden ones on GunBroker (that black butt-stock-shell wasn't there this morning).......Angola (none-listed)........RTG (none).......GunParts (none). I didn't get a chance to check SARCO...."but" their quality is "ify".

Richard,
Excellent! If it's black, synthetic and not damaged, I'll take it. Unfourtunately I don't have any German Bakelite to trade so I will have to just buy it outright.
Can you PM me details and let me know I can send you money with Paypal?
Thanks
Andrew

Did not understand it was green. Was hoping to find a black stock.
If I went green, I would need to track down get the correct green (MG74?) grips.
Think I'll have to pass for now and kepe looking for a black one. Thanks for your efforts.

Do you still have the pictured MG buttstock? If so, I am looking for a mint brown/black MG1 buttstock.
