large ordinance wheel

[Rick B]

The general rule is that the large wheel was used first and then changed to the small wheel around November 1941 but there are examples of the large wheel as late as March 1942, and a few examples of EMcF marked stocks with the large wheel, so there was a long overlap when both were used. I would say your stock is rather uncommon.

Absolutely incorrect. The large and small wheel cannons are on both long and short channel rifles. I have proven this time and time again over the past 10 years. Why the books show different may be do to suggestive thinking. Rick B

Also the overlap is untrue also. The large wheel was used until the end of WWII but not that much after the GHS period. It appears the Large wheel was a certain inspectors stamp and when they went back to the line it was used or maybe when they had extra people working it was used again. Rick B
