    Nice if that springs back and forth like it looks. If you post a picture of the markings I can verify it for you. Thanks,, Rick Bicon

    Actually it is just a piece of paper clip, not really a spring.
    I mean this


    Here is the stock I bought with DOD 1/2" cartouche and the circled P.
    Thank you for checking, Rick Bicon.

    I have a D-Day June '44 M1icon Garand too.
    Can you please also check if this SA GAW mark is original or a fake ?
    Thank you again.

    Target Photos

    Rick Bicon is correct, those target photos are mine from an old GCAicon article I wrote on NMs. A credit to the GCA Journal would have been nice.

    Did you discuss about this problem with Tom Findley sending him an email ( hobbiesnov3 @ trfindley.com) ?
    I think credits should be listed at his website close your target photos.
