looks like Boyds is getting better, they still need to open up the back area of the tang, thats a safety area for the stock.
My info has it as a Springfield inspector stamp (will find the name on the bottom of my original post). I did this to show a representation of the mark, but for anyone who knows 03A3's that it is not an original stock. I've seen too many B.S. artists trying to pull off their stuff as original & ask top dollar. Personally, it ticks me off, but to each their own. I built this rifle for myself, but as all things, when it leaves my hands in the condition it is in now, there will be no mistaking the stock. As it stands now, their are a lot of FJA / RA stocks that are not original as well, as the stamps were at one time available. With a bit of practice, I dare say I could have made the FJA / RA marks, but chose not to. My advice towards Springfield purchases north & south of the border: "If it looks too good to be true, it's probably not".
