    Hard to find a good one.

    I dunno what to say ! I thought I had seen all the tricks but a guy here is trying to sell #670181 which has been cut in half behind the grip and a new rear wood added on. Also just found #2158185 and #1075962 for sale which are just as bad. My P.C crashed, just getting on the road again. Cheers all. Mikey. N.Z.Attachment 34585

    The grain on that stock matches pretty darn good. I wonder if it had been checkered and they removed the checkering rather than replacing the back half? - Bob

    Mikey, I guess you are right about it being two parts. I just found this info on the gun:

    Carbine. M1icon. Cal .30 As issued with sling and oiler, 5 shot mag. Manufacturer's name to
    barrel (Inland) but has been removed from action. Thinning
    parkerising. VG bore. Woodwork good but unusual having been made
    in 2 parts. (Cut behind pistol grip but looks original).
    No 670181

    Doesn't look like any GI fix I've ever seen, but you gotta admit he did a really nice job of it.

    Mikey, glad you're up and running again. Computer crashes are a real hassle aren't they?
