What would you think is a fair price for a 1937 gas trap stock?

I did a quick look of some of the early Springfield and Winchester stocks that were produced for the solid butt plates, some were even converted to use the trapdoor
buttplate.
The price of 5K seem very high

This is why my 5 digit is getting a nice DuPage $75 dollar special. I left my 5 grand in my other pants.

Still, it shows the parts are still out there. Bet it sells well, eventually.

The Spring issue of the GCA
Journal will feature Rick borecky's final chapter of The Barn Wood story, the trove where all those no-traps were found. Unfortunately, that won't be for three months, as the Winter issue is just now mailing.
Real men measure once and cut.

Mate, I have no clue. In fact I have no clue what the difference is between an M1 Gas trap stock and a 'normal M1 stock.
All I know is that $5K is a lot of money for a stock of any sort. But then, I'm not an M1 collector.

There are two kinds of gas trap period stocks:
the first has a large over small hole in the end of the stock, early stocks had a drawing number by the round bottom pistol grip and they used a checkered butt plate without a trap door for cleaning items
the second type of gas trap stock had two equal sized holes in the end of the stock. narrower pistol grip and used checkered butt plate also without a trap door
both of these stock used the SA SPG cartouche without the crossed cannon stamp
