This recoil pllate is from my Winchester SN 5727XXX . It bears no Manuf code but doesnt appear to be cast , I am not an expert at detecting that. I also dont know a type 2 from a 3 . So any one care to try IDing







Thanks Russ

That is a type 3.

in Nov 43 and my 5.6 has one of them as original equipment. It is marked AU on the right side of the tang. You may have one of these. Mine was built in May of 1944 and they apparently dipped into those 5K at this time. How does the stock grain look under the plate? does it reflect the metal etchings in the wood? Mine clearly does and the plate was a real bear to remove from the stock which clearly shows the pattern of the metal in the wood. Good luck.

Thanks for the help in locating the manuf mark unfortunately it is a PR-B for IBM but at least I know what it is. My eyes are not the best anymore
Thanks again
