I Cut early Inland Cartouch.

Good or bad ? I suspect, correct. Opinions welcomed. I don't like those ones that look like they were made yesterday. Cheers. Mike. N.Z.

it's legit. what is marked inside the slingwell, flaming cannon ball/OI or HI?

it looks like a legit stock that has been cleaned up, but real cartouche

Thanks Guys. Here's a few more of the same stock. STU, as you will see, I cannot answer your slingwell question. Despite it's battle damage, I like it, I feel it's a correct I Cut, Hi wood, and would like to keep it as it is. Just found the stock and handguard, not what should be in it !. Cheers, Mike.

Mikey, it looks right to me, lucky you. I could use one of those for a 6-digit 262,xxx Inland. Oh well I'll keep looking.....Frank

Mikey, actually I can make out an O I in the top of the cut in the second picture.

Kinda evy you that you are in the part of the world where some of the carbines were actually used. I am sure you come across some that are wearing scars and battle damage from long ago...

That's a good one to go on an early Inland for sure Mike.

Problem is: Hi wood trimmed at rebuild, and a .U. from Underwood rebuild. Mine has small annoying chips around the I cut too. But considering the firewood that's come out of CMP lately, it looks new.

Thanks for the support guys. I find myself in a position where I don't know what to do! I am between a rock and a hard place. I post pics to help the honest guys from being ripped off, but at the same time I am helping the humpers. So to maybe finish this thread, here's some pics of the same stock. I have four of these Overton for Inland I Cuts, they are all pretty much the same (except for the markings) and the other three have the metal in them. What I have learned, is that if that Hi- Wood, "Hi/sharp point". looks too "rounded", look for evidence of heavy sanding in other areas around the stock. Cheers to all. Mike. N.Z

It's a nice stock. I like the look of "been there, done that" that it has. Only thing that would have made it better is if it was still high wood.
