Korean (?) ID Tag on Carbine Stock

[painter777]

Just opened a box of stocks and found a Type III OI Inland stock with the Korean Rack numbers painted on the right rear.
Common enough I know....But this is the first I've run across with a label still stuck to it under the forearm. I've had a few before like this that had the tape residue still left there, but no tag.
In the pictures you can see the bottom of the pistol grip bears the number 254, which can be seen on the column on the right.
Near the oiler you'll see the number 2.5. This can be seen on the tag at the bottom of the right column.
I plan to pull off the tape and see if anything is written on the underside of the label.
Anyone run across this before?

BTW, it's marked OI in the slingwell, 1 partial P stamp on the front of the grip and what looks to be a faint Ordnance Wheel left under the painted on Rack numbers. No Armory Depots stampings.

This last one shows where I've started to pull the tape from the top corner,

Just had some information passed to me from a member of another forum.

According to his Korean wife......

I had my Korean wife look at this tag. The long rectangle,with three characters in it,is the 'owner's name- Yi Chong Shim,as near as I can understand her saying it. The two characters to the left of '254' mean "Gun Number"... that is,Gun number 254. She had a harder time getting me to understand the other two sets of characters on the tag-I got the impression they are like positions in a rack or something-one set means' left to right',and the other 'top to bottom'-something like that.

Now that's pretty cool !!

Haven't seen any tags here in Canada, but we don't get the volume of them that you do.

Charlie, to answer your question mark, yes that is Korean alphabet - but I am stating the obvious....

The good news is that you are back to messing with stocks therefore you must be mending pretty good... good to have your pictures (and you) back in the workshop.

Well,
Not really back in the shop.........just wanted to peek into this box to see whats ahead of me.
You know, Doing the ole mental planning.

Looking forward to being able to take a long DEEP breath !
Fingers crossed I don't catch the colds everyone around me has right now.

Cheers,

Hacking and coughing would be the pits.

Stay warm and rest up.

Jim,
Staying warm is the top priority here right now.
It's around 12 out, not counting the wind chill.
The guys are all out ice fishing today.
The sitting part is getting old.....

Charlie, -17 air temp here this morning, -25 wind chill. I hated this kind of weather when we had cattle. Needless to say I didn't do a run this morning (stoke the fire and hang in there).....Frank
