General Tire & Rubber fiberglass M14 stocks

[cpc]

Bob, you are about right on the timing I believe of the m1 stock. Before I retired from Carlisle I met a guy at a Maryland arms collectors assn meeting and he said he would bring some documents to the Baltimore show that year regarding the Garand. His father had apparently worked at Aberdeen and had found these documents in the garbage or were being tossed during renovation etc. They were the accuracy test documents for the m5 and m5a1bayonets as well as the plastic or fiberglass stock. I believe there were a couple other folders too but I don’t recall what they were. I offered to buy them but he wanted to show them to Scott Duff first. I never followed up so I assume Scott ended up with them. All were in the 53-56 time frame I believe.

There was also a fiberglass handguard assembly that incorporated both front and rear guards in one piece. It required a special lower band.
