unmarked walnut stock on Imported M1 Carbine?

[jjjxlr8]

Well the stock actually does have a couple of small "D-6" markings on it - one in the sling slot and one on the bottom of the pistol grip. Otherwise, it has none of the typical markings that I would expect to see on a US rebuilt rifle stock.

This one has the early Interarms import mark so I guess it came back from Europe or Germany in the late 70's early 80's. It still has the early push button safety, non-"M" marked mag release, but has the later adjustable rear sight and T4 front band.

My question is...was the stock likely replaced overseas? Is that why it doesn't have the typical acceptance stamps? Why doesn't it have a maker's mark? I thought the stocks were typically marked.



Anyone know what the "D-6" means?
