LT1,
Did you mean your slingwell is marked TRIMBLE over TN instead of TH?
I too have a stock with a sideways I stamped but its a RSG with Inland CC. I'll post pic below. My understanding is the stock maker stamped the slingwell then shipped the stock to the carbine maker. After completion the maker would stamp their CC on the stock....... meaning accepted. If your stock has the Inland CC, sounds as though it's possible someone added the NPM stamp later on. JMO.
Zaugau,
Your's is the first I've seen marked with the T.I.
Trimble for Inland (?) Must be because that CC is surely a real Inland stamp.
Wulf,
Sorry about your loss of a nice stock. Do you recall if there was anything else marked in the slingwell?
Firstflabn,
I misplaced my copy of Warbaby with some precious notes sometime back. Thanks for that input.
Pictured below are 3 RMC to Inland stocks owned by friends, all are Hi-woods.

Here is the Robert Irwin made stock I came across that originally had a rack number painted on. After stripping it I found a partial Inland size CC on it. It also has the green ink stamp inside the slidewell. The ink is the color RSG used not the same as the color used in early Inland stocks. It's marked with a upside down RSG with a sideways I. I passed pictures of this one to Marty at the Carbine Club.
Has anyone ever seen anything about RSG stocks to Inland in Warbaby?
I've thought about selling this one because I don't need it.
But how do you list it?
A RSG made for Inland stock? With a Inland size CC ?
It's the right one in this first picture,

I'm more or less a wood and markings nut. I could be happy just collecting stocks. The metal that makes them go boom is a plus.
Thanks to all for your help. It's appreciated
Cheers,

Charlie, I am in the same boat with you. I love the stocks and cartouches more than the rest for sure.

I did get a 5/44 Inland from the CMP with a Trimble TN stamp in the slingwell, but it also had the NPM and cc stamp on the right side. The Inland was mostly correct when I got it, but it had its share of mixmaster parts, including an IBM handguard. And it had the Augusta rearsenal stamp.
Any chance the wood patch you're seeing is a fix for an M2-conversion gone wrong?
-
Very possible.
Did notice the front wood bridge was still intact.
Seller states it's a repair to a M2 cut out.
Patches could also be from a scope tapped to the leftside of the receiver.
Congrats on your new carbine.
A Good Weekend,

I was browsing and noticed your thread. I have an inland 1-45 matching reciever and barrell M1 that has Trimble over TN and no other markings in the sling well and this gun was brought home from war by my grandfather unless stock was changed in the field I am assuming it is oraginal stock. Hope that helps
