I'm getting a little excited

[Mark W.]

Whats the barrel date? Any chance you live near Anniston to pick up one of the original C type Keystones they have in the CMP store at $125? (Edit - just saw your Oregon address) Occasionaly someone is selling one of these on the CMP site trading page at some profit to the seller.

Barrel date is 5-19 I'll check out the CMP ads.

I like the idea of a rebuild stock. I'm in no hurry this winters project is a .22 target rifle. and I really should restock the M1 Carbine first that stock is just plain ratty.

My brother owns a gun shop in SE AZ and has already been set to looking for a 03-A3 for a shooter.

Check for posts from a party called Hammonje (or something close). He must live close enough to Anniston that he can pick up three or four keystones at a whack. He does sell at a profit and should get something for his travel /expense. He had some real nice keystones for sale on the bolt actionwant to sell board a month or so ago. Downside is that he just posted that he had some sort of injury and is laid up so he has been slow in sending out his wares. The keystone wont be original for your rifle but it will make for a nice shooter stock and it is a GI product. The handguard would have to be had from CollectorSource (send a pic of your stock and they will try to match the handguard sent to your stock) as the Anniston stocks do not come with a handguard.
