Never installed on a carbine and without the wire stock, inside marked O1.
This is a late low wood M1A1 replacement stock

Great find.
Nice and new and perfect...
Something is wrong here....Why does a J. S. Richardson stock have an Inland/Overton stamp in the slide well????

Because the pistol grip is a separate part from the long piece?Quote:

Jim, have you seen them any other way? Overton made the forearms, Richardson made the grips. Both of my late original M1A1s (6.35 & 6.37 guns) have the same wood with ordnance wheels on the side of the grip.
Here, read this site a bit... The U.S. Caliber .30 Carbines, Model M1A1
It is possible, but mine had NO IO stock markings on the stocks with the Richardson pistol grips. I 'm not saying it is not correct, but I am saying that it doesn't fit with my experience.
This M1A1 stock was in the wrap when I got it from a friends estate after he died in 1983, the box that this stock was in was postmarked 1964. If the grip
was changed, it was done a very long time ago - why would anyone even care to change the pistol grip that long ago ?
I'd guess it was assembled that way "as new" but could be wrong.
Well it might be a Korean era rebuild set. A lot were converted back then.
According to the Overton book, J.S. Richardson sold their complete M1A1 grip making setup to SA in Dec 44, so that's the end of the line for RI3 grips.
