Question about hi wood IMB stock

**RCS** · 05-13-2019 04:08 PM

I have a stock in my QH 1,603422 carbine that a collector identified as a IBM hi wood I cut stock and not the correct stock. I have since installed another stock on the QH.

I am attempting to find out the approximate value of this IBM stock in order to sell it outright or for trading. I will post some photo of the stock taken with the QH carbine.

Thanks RobertAttachment 100453 Attachment 100452 Attachment 100451 Attachment 100450 Attachment 100449

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Selling it may be a BIG mistake! I would hold on to it for better id. I haven't seem one marked with the big 'B' after RMC!!! Beautiful stock, looks like it has never been refinished or messed with.....................

Keep it. Great trade material.

Hi Robert, it is a very hard to find and desirable stock. RMC made for early IBM, your cartouche could be a little better but is honest. The way prices have been going on quality rare stocks lately I would say $500.00 or more to the right collector.

Best Regards.....Frank

What era was the B NOT added to I cut RMC stocks for IBM? I've got one with no B.

**Bruce McAskill** · 12-16-2019 02:27 PM

Roughly about the first 18,500 RMC stocks from beginning of production would have had the Large B.

RMC ended up being a rather large supplier of stocks early on.
IIRC, I've seen RMC stocks used by QHMC, IBM, Underwood, Inland and SG.

To Ten's Inquire:
Seeing that many early RMC stocks were unmarked for... but issued to QHMC.
Seems very possible that in the mix of RMC-B stocks that the stamped B wouldn't have always been applied. If you pay attention the B's were separately and randomly placed when they were stamped.

The I-Cut RMC with the B in the sling well stocks were reported in the 3673XXX to 3747XXX serial number range.
