non of these 2 stocks pictured were A4 stocks.. one is a grasping groove stock. the other is a pre war C stock, the pre war C stock is a hot item.. those building a USMC sniper rifle want them, the cuts you see are on the left side, to clear the cut off switch.. the grasping groove stock is also a rare item today.. the auction tagged was for a NOS, A4 stock.. sold for about 200 more then it should have,, auctions arent a good way to gage value of your stuff... that same stock a few weeks ago may have sold for 200 bucks.. put a fair price on your items., and be fair. or list them on auction and hope for the best
I've owned a 1909A3 for some time that needed restocking so, I bought a C stock from CMP and had a stock maker here in town install it. From what I've been told they are Boyds and hadn't heard much good about this manufacturer. Very happy with results.
