What might $6500 look like?

Nice buy and the SPG is a rebuild from later when they modified it. Seems when SPG came back they set up a line just for the modifications of rifles and stocks to which this stamp shows up. The only SPG's found in all of the Barn Wood were the skinny letter ones.

Billy Pyle's "The Gas Trap Garand" has the period of 1947 to 1951 for the rebuild SPG period. I have seen M1 carbine stocks with the rebuild SA SPG stamp too

Here's one I found at Numrich MANY years ago.

That's very interesting about the post-war SPG stocks, particularly (if I read it correctly) that "the barn" only had the post-war SPG stocks. Out of curiosity, do the SPG cartouched stocks seem to be less prevalent than other post-war cartouches?

I went back over today to just chat with the gentleman I bought the stuff in the original post from. He gave me two more GAW stocks (good condition, but not pristine like the first one, naturally) and two boxes of parts. One labeled "Winchester Parts" and one labeled "Early SA Parts". I opened up the "Early SA Parts", and the top part was a C46025 Trigger Guard with concentric rings, and a very clean, deep black finish. Just going through that box is going to be an adventure in itself.
