From what I can see, your stock looks to have been heavily worked. Re-finished. Sanded. It looks like a repair under the rear sight on the right side.

Any chances to get an original stock of those age in good conditions bearing all original marks ?
Can you please address me to a store in USA ?
Thank you.
That's going to be an Ebay thing. Those are extremely expensive and rare. Marked stocks command a premium. That's why there's so many fakes.
That's true ... it is so easy to make fake marks and stamps over wood.
My 1944 M1 Garand stock "seems" to be an original one with "GWA" print and "P" mark, but who really knows if it is original or a fake ?
Thanks again, I will have a look at ebay.com
I think you were asking about a stock for your 1954 Garand, if so you can try The best resource on the internet for Post war M1 Garand stocks and other genuine military surplus items.
He also sells on Ebay. Is your " 54 Garand" a SA or HRA ?? Joe
Sorry Jim, I did read the first post but forgot he had indicated it was a SA. After re-reading all the posts, I also see he was referring to his 1944 rifle when asking about a place to get a correct stock. Well he can use the site I indicated if he needs a late SA stock, although nice ones seems hard to come by. As you said, Ebay is about his only choice or maybe an ad in the GCA Journal for a WW2 stock. Joe
Joe W,
I am trying to identify the correct bayo model for my SA M1 Garand of 1944 (WWII D-Day).
I am looking for a good original stock for my SA M1 Garand of 1954 (Korea), so a post war and not a WWII stock.
Will check the link you have posted.
Thank you.
Here are the bayos I bought.

At the bottom a M7 in its M8A1 scabbard for M16/AR15 rifle.
I should also get a M6 for M14 rifle.
Everything there looks good from this distance. No garbage...yes an M6 for sure. Why 2xM5's? Trading material? Or different?
