Yes, that's a drill rifle stock.
Thanks Jim
I wanted to make sure before I listed them for sale
got a few from gunsmith estate i been working on
thanks Mike
Those should sell. Good for even a wall hanger, as long as they don't try to use them for shooters. Not great for that. Maybe with work...
That should do all right...you've started it right. (I think...)
I believe they were plastic of some sort.
My all-time "favorite" eBay listing was someone trying to sell these stocks as a "rare USMC amphibious stock" developed to prevent the water damage and breakage from landing on enemy beaches. I had to give the guy an "A+" in the Science Fiction category! :D
wow Rich should i change my ad on gunbroke to that information:D
US Navy used them in ROTC. A soft plastic. Not for firing!
Well thanks for the info still would make a nice addition to collection as just a conversation piece
They were in use in navy boot camp in orlando in 1987 when I went through there.

That would make sense as they'd see lots of hard use in the hands of recruits.Quote:

We had DP M1 Garands with wood stocks at NTC San Diego in 1983. I guess it's the difference between coasts.
Here are some listed as Navy. 1903A3 Springfield Desert Sand synthetic stock - $49.95 : The Old Western Scrounger LLC.
Crap, I was there in '84 and would love to have seen that...Quote:
