Hey guys, I recently purchased a new "C" stock for my M1903A3 from Northridge (through EBay) and I have some concerns. First, the stock looks nothing like the one they had listed, but that's understandable if they have multiples of them. What does concern me is it looks like the stock was already stained, and the only marking on it is an "X" made with a red pen in the barrel channel. The stock set came in an original looking box, but it was obviously opened at one point so it wouldn't be hard to put a reproduction stock in it.
From some of my research it seems as though there should be a number stamped somewhere (kinda like an NSN) to help identify it as USGI.
I'll have some pics up in a few, and would appreciate any input you may have. Thanks!
