Inglis shoulder stock
I have a shoulder stock for my Inglis with these characters stamped into the wood. Can anyone tell me what they might mean. Best I can do is "made in manchuria" so I am most likely wrong. Thanks in advance for the help, John McP

i see it , but i thought all of the inglis stocks were made in canada , always open to learning , could this be an issue/possession mark ?

It's a replacement stock made in China. It is not considered to be legal by ATF for use with an Inglis as it's not an original stock.

We had a HUGE go around about this before...is that thread here somewhere? Maybe this will help...
Does this inglis wood holster look legit?

Bruce and Jim, I do know this is not an Canadian stock, but I do rather want to know what the characters mean. Seems to me that a replacement stock made in China to replace lost or broken original Canadian stocks should be deemed as "original" as the pistol itself, but logic is not a strong suit at the ATF. Further, the publishing of a letter in 1981 that replicas were legal and then in 1999 publishing a letter that they are not leaves things a bit up in the air. Perhaps one needs to ask for yet another letter. Back to the subject, what to the characters mean?

You're kind of lucky that the ATF actually issue a letter telling you what the state of play is AT THAT TIME, albeit maybe not quite what you want. The arbiters here are the Home Office who give an ambiguous answer that seekms to cover all bases so that if you read it one way, 'it is/you can' or another interpretation of the gobbledegook is that 'is isn't/you can't'!
The only true definition or adjudication here is the Court and as a general rule, the lower Courts always pass Firearms cases up to the Crown courts. By which time......... anyway.......
