I am trying to find out which type "C" stock I have as I read that there were several types. There is no cartouches or a "P" on the pistol grip section nor is there any other numbers. There is a "s" in the cutoff area and a "CKS" stamped on the left side.
It’s a Springfield armory c stock as evidenced by the s in the cutoff. There are no types of c stock. The WWII versions were somewhat thicker than the prewar versions and made by Keystone and American Billiards as I recall.
You have a Springfield Armory Type C stock manufactured in 1941 or early 1942. The handguard is from a Remington M1903 rifle.

John, would this be a correct stock for a 1903 sniper rifle?
The "CKS" inspection stamp, I believe, is a U.S. Army Ordnance stamp. I do not believe that would appear on a USMC sniper rifle. I am also apprehensive that the USMC got any Type C stocks from that period.

notice, the recoil lug area has been opened up to take a 1903a3 , but no band cut for the handguard ring. would fine for a sniper clone
I was thinking about taking the stock to a local gun show, any idea what it is worth?
I believe the stock with handguard should be worth upwards of $500. Good Luck!

Thanks John!
The Hoover Al show would be a good place to start.Quote:
