M1 So you have a rebuild ?

I had 2 different DI recoil plates for the '45 Inland and 1 didnt fit like the 2nd DI I used and the second 1 i used fit just the the Winchester Recoil plate did, it looks like the W one by the pictures i took before and after. Then I went to the P & R Club and shot with the same group, now I have the Type 3 Barrel Band SI the one for the '45 and the N marked Front Sight.

Notice that I said, "Does it look like a Z"? - Bob

No, that's why I posted what I did.

But remember, its not going in the same stock, its going in the newer Stock im buying with the matching Hanguard with the same markings or the Springfield Stock im refinishing., so the finger print in the stock doesnt.matter, Thanks

This is why im not worrying about finger printing, I purchased a very nice Inland Stock with matching Handguard and Markings and plus im working on that SA Stock, but just started. This is the first level, im applying the Walnut Stain right now, then i will follow the rest as im going through the AGI DVD on Wood Working 2 hour Course on making a nice Walnut Stained Stock that I forgot I had. Thanks

This is a new Stock, but i wll have to wait another Day for the Inland Stock i bought.

It is probably too late now but when you remove the original recoil plate, it will leave a fingerprint in the stock if it was the original plate. The machining marks etch right into the wood.

Im using another Stock so there wont be any old Recoil Plate Finger Printing. Thanks

(Im NOT saying this is a correct and all to the year) I also purchased a M1 Stock and matching Handguard marked IO, but thats for another day, then this Springfield Stock I did will be for sale, Thanks to everyone who helped me, Thanks

What camera are you using Frank? It doesn't need much for a digital cam to get good shots. Just something with a macro...it would help for doing this sort of thing. They're OK, just not quite as good as you'd want...for detail.

[imntxs554]

Finally the stock and some parts came in today.
