    Numbers stenciled on M1 Garand & Carbine stocks

    I'm getting ready to redo a M1icon Garand stock and a M1 Carbine stock...both have faint traces of numbers stenciled on them. I noticed lately after getting on some forums dedicated to old surplus rifles that I've been seeing some other stocks that have numbers stenciled on them them towards the butt. Their either in yellow or white. Can someone shed some light to me about what the numbers were for? thanks

    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.
