Hello Everyone, recently picked up M1 Carbine stock for my project in work. Any info on marking.? Origins ? Thanks in advance. Some PHOTOS.
Italian Arsenal Stamp "Fabrica Armi Terni" they restocked and reworked carbines for the Italian Air Force. About 5 years ago, they were the source for CMP carbines.
Weren't some of the Italian returned stocks stamped F (Letter before B) G?
Ft Dix,
What type project?
I can't get a good view of your pics.
Is it a GI stock?
Any markings in the slingwell?
Cheers,

Hello painter777 Sorry about pics they are copys of sellers pic. I don't have item in hand at this time. No markings in sling well. Rectangle with Star over FAT over 75 inside of box. Jurys
out if GI Stock or not. Project is a shooter using the newest GI parts I can obtain. I got a thing for Underwood. That's all I got for now.
Some USGI walnut stocks were refinished & stamped FAT, but they usually have old USGI markings. Replacement stocks will be European beech stamped FAT, with no USGI markings.

You also may find the marking and year under hand guard on the barrel directly in front of the chamber. John
Received Stock yesterday. M2 has selector cutout. SA stamp found on forearm.
FortDix6668, nice looking stock, it should make a good shooter. That SA stock was made with the M2 cut out and no bridge. It should be nice and beefy if it has not been sanded. With the FAT stamp I doubt that it has been sanded. Since you're going to use it for a shooter carbine, I would just drop the gun in as is. There is nothing wrong with the FAT stamp on it. Good luck and how about a range report when you get a chance. Best Regards.....Frank
