M1 Carbine stocks - Arsenal box of ten, still filled with five

[jimb16]

If nothing else, it is a very interesting bit of carbine history. I just wonder why they weren't stamped RRAD anywhere if that is where they were modified.

Pretty sure that when a rebuild facility stamped a stock it was to indicate that they had inspected or rebuilt a complete weapon. Don't think that would apply if they just modified a bunch of excess stocks. Then again who's to say that they even did the mods. All we know for sure is they packed them in that box.

I think everyone is talking about the same things, and the part that interests me the most is how each of those stocks ended up at the RRAD and then the box of them on to Europe.

Sorry, then the misunderstanding was on my side - English is not my native language, so forgive me.


They ended up where they were for being given as aid post WWII. One of many governments which received weaponry as aid post WWII.

You are forgiven! - we're all just a bunch of guys with similar interests in items like these, and trying to figure out in our own minds different ways it all may have taken place. - Bob

Nothing to forgive. Any of us could be right, but we could all be wrong. This discussion gives us all another thing to keep our eyes open for information on. It poses another question that we probably never even thought about before. Now you've given us another challenge and another learning opportunity. Thanks!
