Re: Mr. Beards Questions
Does the stock have an inspection stamp, -- No
proof mark, -- No
or subinspector marks in front of the trigger guard? -- No
Does the stock have any markings in the cutoff recess? -- No
What marking, if any, appears in the barrel channel above the lower band retaining spring? -- No
The only markings on the stock are 1.) a small W under the buttplate; 2.) a U in the receiver channel just forward of the magazine well; 3.) an R on the tip, partially obscured by a dent.
Your stock might possibly be a Remington stock, but more likely not. It's more likely a Rock Island stock. In any event, the stock is apparently a field replacement, since it is devoid of an inspection stamp and proof mark.
