US, good point. If it were made of rejected parts and or pulled from the line and inop to be presented to execs or Ordnance bigwigs, why would it have a "P" proof???

Bill,

These too could have been made of rejected parts. Since proof firing was done before acceptance, it could have failed proof firing, the stock could have a crack in it or it was a clean-up of various reject parts when WRA production was over. Hard to say but it looks just like the early ones in finish characteristics. These stocks weren't pre-stamped and stored regardless of what Babcock thinks.

The early ones have the most beautifully figured WRA no-trap stocks you ever saw.
