P on the Pistal Grip Area

[imarangemaster]

My unmessed with Inland in an IO oval cut, highwood stock has the P in the circle on the bottom of the pistol grip.

My "messed with some" 476K Inland with the same stock as imarangemaster's has the circled P. - Bob

The P proof on the bottom of the grip was not used long after the type 2 stock was in general use. The P on the barrel was the main proof mark so anything to save time,effort and of course cost was adopted when ever possible.

Now I'm going to throw in some more confusion.....a P marked barrel with a punch mark second proof! Ain't carbines fun!

Barrel used by NPM.
