Stocks had heavy cracking, metal rusted and pitted. All so grimey you couldn't see any markings. Did see that all were late potbelly styles with the long barrel channels. Price was $29.95 for a set. They didn't care if you swapped Hg's. Location was Total firearms, Holt.. MI.

Made me wonder about possible returns from Korea...
If the stocks are any indication..... I may have to set this one out.

Charlie:

I recently purchased a type 5 stock and have refinished it to sell as a shooter set. It has what appears to be a Standard Products Crossed Canon Stamp of unknown origin on the right side of the butt and a circled P on the base of the grip. It also has traces of some sort of stamp on the left in front of the sling well. I thought it might have been a FAT cartouche. Bubba made some confusing alterations.

Can you tell if this might be a Korean Kapur wood stock?
