RMC Made- Inland used Stock?

[painter777]

On the Cheaper than Dirt site,
I noticed this Rock Ola made I cut Hi-wood with what looks to be a Inland CC.
I can't be positive but see no sign of the Rock Ola 3/4" by 3/4" box half filled with the RMC at the top.
Two other possibilities that could proove me wrong;
1- That Crossed cannon stamp is bigger than a Inland CC and there is/was a worn off SQ. box with RMC at the top.
2- Or it might be a big wheel QHMC stamp.

Any thoughts?

Have seen RMC I Stamped stocks that were Type II with Oval oiler but this is the first I cut I've seen.

Click on the link below, when open click on View More Images and see pic #4 for the CC.
In pic #8 you can see a serial number stamped over RMC, and below the serial number is the stamped I.

Here are 3 pictures of RMC to Inland Type II Oval Hi-Wood Stocks;
Last picture is a RSG to Inland Stock, also a Type II Oval Hi-wood.

War Baby References that on 10/6/43 Inland got 10084 stocks and hanguards from RMC. It does not say what type however.

Charlie, Check CC newsletter353-6. I have Inland serial number 3,002,xxx that has T1 stock marked RMC with a Inland Crossed Cannon stamp and P in circle on the bottom of the grip. It has the / in the slingwell like the one you show but does not have any markings in the barrel channel as noted in the newsletter. According to the newsletter the serial # range is 2,921,589-3,027,3xx. John

The 2,9 mil-3,2 mil Inland block becomes that much more interesting, the more you research it . I don't own one in this range. Usually I spend what time I get just trying to research carbines in the blocks that I own.
Toward the end were the SG receivers. Inland must have really been wheeling and dealing while geared up.
Imagine the logistics, trying to keep production rolling. Another interesting factor about these rifles.
Pressure was on... much like when my Alabama buddies are bellying up to the Breakfast Buffet ;-)

Thx guys...good info here,
Charlie

Number two is the correct answer.

Thanks Brian,
I was hoping you or Newscotlander would look it over.
I remember many of the RMC stocks used by Quality HMC weren't marked QRMC in the slingwell.
A I cut RMC stock with the Big Wheel QHMC stamp. You don't get to see very many.

Here's the pic of the CC blown up some....

Thanks Again,

So what does the "I" stamp represent?

So what does the "I" stamp represent?

"Here are 3 pictures of RMC to Inland Type II Oval Hi-Wood Stocks;
Last picture is a RSG to Inland Stock, also a Type II Oval Hi-wood."

Yes I understood that part, but if it has a QHMC big wheel stamp what does the "I" stand for? RMC to Quality to Inland?
