Will the M1950 military one burner stove parts interchange between different years and models. what I'm asking is will for instance rogers parts fit a fiesta stove or something of this nature or different models.
The model is supposed to be a standard, but I'm sure there are minor variations between makers. Big assemblies should interchange, i.e taking the valve assembly from one and fount from another. Easiest is give it a try. Might require small amounts of fitting.
The M1950 Is a U.S. Department Of Defence contract. This stove was built by several companies using a blueprint provided by the DOD. All parts are the same between manufacturers and are interchangeable. There are no variations between parts from one company and another.
>>All parts are the same between manufacturers and are interchangeable. There are no variations between parts from one company and another. I thought this with the M-1942, but found that this isn't the case across manufacturers. At least not with the pump and wrench. My M-1950's are Rogers, so I can't help here.
My experience with government contracts and multiple vendors is that the government specs are more of a notional guideline rather than a no-deviation standard. Only place where this doesn't apply is aircraft related items, and maybe submarines. If it's something that isn't a life and safety issue, like a stove, as long as it performs the required task there is quite a bit of leeway.
