I'm building up a 1903A3 barreld action.. I see that Sarco has new production C stocks and they say they aren't boyds. anyone have an idea who made them? I'm tempted to say the heck with it and spend the $$$ and get a NIW GI C stock.

The one I bought came out of a box marked SILE, I believe they are made in Italy.
I got one.Its nice.Dark walnut with a lot of tiger stripe to it.The only fit problem was the trigger guard.A Smith Corona dropped right in ,a Rem was a bit too long on the rear loop flange.I took about .020 off,and it dropped in.The guard sat a bit high in the rear so I deepened the recess,and it fit perfect.Took about 8-10 minutes to fit,a coat of blo,and its nice now.Gun Parts Corp listed USGI C stocks last time I looked.
I have one & needed to scoop out the stock hole a little to get the buttplate to fit. I agree that they are VERY nice looking stocks!
Scrapco! Oh my. Way too much history with a bunch of ding-dongs. CMP has nice wood. Northridge has REAL WWII wood. Northridge is doing all of big Calif shows.
Bought both the SARCO & Northridge. Different wood, SARCO is better finished, while as mentioned Northridge is WW2 and requires more finishing both sanding and final finsh. You won't go wrong with either one. Use Tung Oil and skip the BLO, see the restored stock info at the www.odcmp.com, BLO has too many problems.
Northridge was at the last Reno Gunshow. They had a large box full of mint wood. Good bet for a California guy.
Got a C stock from Sarco and it was an excellent fit for my Remington A3. It was a dark walnut and only took 7 days to get to my door.
