RSG stock With bomb

**frankderrico** · 06-23-2010 02:38 PM

Charlie, I just picked up this stock. When looking it over I found this.
I was wondering if this is unusual?

It is a nice stock looking for a rifle.....Frank

How about some pics of yourIBM and NPM?

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Hi Frank,
I just looked at a RSG.... SG stock on Ebay that also has the small bomb behind the recoil plate area.
Also a OI stock with it, but you have to look closely to see it with the picture blown up.
Both, like all the others I've seen with that same bomb placement have a RIA/EB stamp on the side.

I think it may just be a inspection stamp from RIA, just not positive.
Here's the 2 links....

I'll try to get pictures around of the IBM by this weekend.
I've torn the NPM down, making out a data sheet.
Trying to rest up today after humping 40' ladders, picks and jacks around for the better part of 2 weeks. Luckily rained out today!

Regards,
Charlie

Thanks Charlie, that makes sence since this one has the RIA over EB stamp on it also.
It shows only type one band ware, it doesn't show signs of being cut down but is a low wood. It's really a nice stock, should clean up and look good.....Frank

I had notes about the size of the RSG letters.
But they must be in my mis-placed copy of WB.
IIRC, the later the RSG stock the larger the letters.
They did use a Type III lo-wood towards the end of production at SG.

Nice looking grain. Looks like a nice find.

Charlie

Charlie, as a matter of fact I got it from the seller on E-Bay that you linked. I put the others on my watch. Now I need an SG! Off to work.....Frank
