New Member Trying To Authenticate an IR-IP stock.

I've done scads of them. Anyone with a glass beader and bluing tanks can...it ain't magic...

I'm still trying to read that import mark. It does look like WA at the end. It doesn't look much like the stamp on my Arlington Ord - now I'll have to get it out and take a closer look! What were you thinking, that they restamped directly beside the first stamp and still didn't get it quite right? Nice pictures of everything! - Bob

Yeah... I think it's a lazy double stamp.

Checked mine and it's about the same as yours. It's just stamped once, as is yours. It says: ARL ORD ARLINGTON VA and totals about 1-3/16" in length. The VA on mine also looks like WA. The only part that is very clear is ORD ARLINGTON. On my data sheet for that one I only have "ORD ARLINGTON" listed as other marks on the barrel. - Bob

Thanks Bob. Now I just have to figure out what to do with the stock.
