Yea, Ole Limpy.... too many years of 'Sweeping the leg' finally caught up with him :-)

Bruce, Your not buying from the "This Stock has been Restored and Preserved" guy from Fort Worth Texas, Who adds a Crossed Cannons Re-Stamp as part of his Restoration... Are you?
Just poking I know your smarter than that.
I just seen a few more completed and current Auctions by him, same game. Glue, Epoxy, Brass Rods and Fake em up and get the guys to dig deep into their pockets. IMO- I can only believe guys are buying these to throw their actions in to pass them off for bigger bucks. Case of Seller is as guilty as the buyer, who falsely resells for profit. But I'll say again: This seller is disclosing what he is doing as far as the Re-Stamping... Now called RESTORATION.

Here's a real beauty: WW2 M1 Carbine Stock Hand Guard Inland | eBay

Just curious what you picked them up for. I may have heard, seen or dreamed it somewhere that the last style Recoil plates...aka (Cast) were the best fit for the cut out shape used on these IR stocks. I'll try to look tomorrow to see if that's true.
As far as me and stocks... Prolly best handled via a PM or Email
