Your stock appears to be a WW2 Vintage SA from 1944-45. The 3/16" ordinance wheel is thought to have been a stock acceptance mark from that time period.

Can anyone give me some feedback on the quality/reputation of the Roggio AR-15 stripped receiver made out of Fayetteville NC? I picked one up a few months ago and was going to put together a lower...

Hi guys,

Just got home so no pics yet. I will try to add a before/after soon.

This is what I got today:

QUALITY HARDWARE SERVICE GRADE/ 1.9M (Late 1943)-No signs of Bavarian/Austrian return,...

I paid $1600 for a 6mil collector grade about 2 years ago and I thought it was a steal deal then. Scott Duff sold one on his website for $1995 and change about 5 years ago but with no cmp papers....

I just got a Randall Knife Catalog, and while part of me thinks it's borderline insanity to spend $350-500+ on a Randall Fighting Knife, another part of me finds the history of these knives to be...

Perfection is a difficult thing to achieve, but I think you've nailed it! Great Job!

I have a CMP Rack Grade- Mid-March 45 receiver with an April 45 barrel. Original finish and breech in the white. There is a good chance it was put on during a rebuild... but it could also be the...

Since 2001, I ordered 3 Winchesters from the CMP, all service grades. None of them ended up being worth what I paid for them. But that was back when you at least had a small chance of getting a...

If it is as you say, a "service-grade" rebuild with 70 percent finish on the metal and some SA parts and wood, then it doesn't have much of anything going for it aside from the fact that it's a...

Dean has the best stocks but they are expensive and look to be out of your stated price range. CMP stocks are fine but need some fitting work(nothing a novice couldn't handle)and staining.

Yes you...

Unfortunately, it's not good enough that we stopped this nonsense. The persons in the government who hatched this idea and/or approved it should be fired. period.

They'll be back folks, again and...

Saw a decent 2mil SA at Cabellas in Wheeling WV this morning. The bad news is they wanted $1000 for it, and it had a 1952 barrel.

The good news is that it had a nice(and genuine) EMcF stock and...

You were talking about not caring for advertising or having "credentials" on a car.... but that's what a manufacturer's logo on a car is essentially about. The Ford logo and "F-150" in bold chrome on...

So I guess you remove or grind off the Ford/Chrysler/Dodge/GM etc logos too then?

Refinished?, chrome at the gas port?, import stamps? If "yes" to any or all of these questions, it will detract considerably from the value...and to some extent so will the 6.5 TE......The ME of 3.0...

I agree with those who say "yes" to the stampings, you can always get a nice unmarked stock somewhere, but the CMP stamp/cartouche gives the stock a unique history, and a tangible piece of what once...

Limaxray,

Steaming the dents caused that part of the wood to lighten. Trying to carefully refinish those light areas to once again match the rest of the stock will likely be an exercise in...

Nothing better or faster for cleaning cosmo and grime from metal parts without harming the finish.

Those sets are over 300 dollars each. I would think that a humper trying to put fake stamps on them and pass them off as original stands to lose much more than he might gain paying that amount for...

Bob,

If you can't get to a range, then consider getting a concealed carry permit,which qualifies as marksmanship activity under the CMP rules. If your state is a "shall issue" state, then the...

Hi all,

I'm newly crossed over from Jouster.com and glad to be here. I'm a Garand Collector, shooter, and a history buff and love to share my knowledge and opinions with others.
