A Stock Marking Not Seen Very Often

**JOHN42768** · 10-07-2012 12:12 PM

I just purchased an early IBM 10-43 with a high wood stock. The marking is not the normal SCB, but it is marked S & C . John

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

I would assume that it would be an early one for Sprauge and Carleton Co. before they had to use one with the B in it. They were the only company to make stocks out of birch and were used by IBM.

Did S&C make any replacement stocks? - Bob

Bruce, They were NOT the only company to make Birch stocks. I have a very nice conditon Trimble/TN made for NPM that is birch.

**Bruce McAskill** · 10-09-2012 05:38 PM

Jim, I misstated as I was trying to say that IBM was getting birch stocks from S&C and S&C was the first stock maker to use birch. My bad sorry.

According to the C.C. newsletters there has only been one data sheet reported to date with this marking. I'm happy. John

Hi Charlie, It is the same stock. I purchased the carbine from Mike. So I think we are back to only one other that has been listed with the C.C.. He is correct on the butt plate bad fit. John

I first wondered if that might be one in the same. Picture wasn't big enough to compare.

Congrats... Very nice grab!
