Another early carbine

[rayg]

After Seeing that great sn 1205 carbine posted by tschie earlier. I thought I would post photos of mine which is not as early as his for evaluation. One question I have is on the stock. In one book I read that the cartouche wasn't transferred to the right side butt stock until serial 30,000. Otherwise the stock appears to be a correct early high wood with no bomb stamped in the inside of the forearm and a bomb and IO in the sling well. Is that 30,000 number set in stone or is it possible the stock could be within the approx. range for the serial number and 7-42 date of my carbine? Ray
