IHC stock question.

[Joe W]

It came on a 4.2 SA Service Grade rifle I bought from the CMP in 2004.

The stock is a reddish walnut has a green "17" rack number (about 1" in height) on the inner heel of the butt stock. (just below the sling swivel)

It has a light .5 X .5 DAS stamp on the left side. A circle "P" without-serif and a number
"2" on the pistol grip flat.

It aslo has the numbers "1964" in the barrel channel.

Stock is in excellent condition and has a deep patina, unlikely refinished?

What do I have? what is it worth these days.

Thanks,

Sounds like you may have a Overton stock manufactured for IHC sometime in July 1954 (196th day of 1954). There are other indicators to determine if the stock is Overton manufactured for IHC, one being an indented area on the right rear of the stock. Looking down on the rifle, looking at the heel, right about where "U.S. RIFLE" is inscribed, you should see the "indent" on the right side, the indent in the stock is quite noticable.
