Yeah, I get that Ron, but it sure feels like there is strong evidence that this rifle and its stock stayed together through that process. My Garandicon and Carbine, not so much - they are total mix masters.

You guys can correct me, but this stock has the appropriate pre-1914 Springfield stamps, correct for a 1912 receiver. The Springfield rifle was then re-barreled at Rock Island in 1918, and the stock has the appropriate 1918-dated Rock Island Otto H. Armstrong inspection stamp. Seems like it would take one heck of a coincidence for some other rifle's stock to have all of these same, and correct, cartouches.
