    Those should sell. Good for even a wall hanger, as long as they don't try to use them for shooters. Not great for that. Maybe with work...

    I believe they were plastic of some sort.

    My all-time "favorite" eBay listing was someone trying to sell these stocks as a "rare USMC amphibious stock" developed to prevent the water damage and breakage from landing on enemy beaches. I had to give the guy an "A+" in the Science Fiction category!

    US Navy used them in ROTC. A soft plastic. Not for firing!
