Restoring the M1 Carbine

[wtmr]

would be more like it-or maybe the Great Race! I always like real stupid movies. Too each his own till you sell it and then be honest with your buyers or bidders. No $700 gun is worth ruining ones reputation over trying to squeeze somebody for a extra $500 out of it, anyone doing so just priced their reputation about the same as a low end call girl. I have restored many carbines and have done some of the unmentionable but firmly believe I restored a piece of history as you see them restoring tanks and what not today with any means possible. I have not nor will never use a fake cartouche stamp on a original piece of wood. Now if I had the original stamp and a NOS stock I would probably swing the hammer!! Now lets see what kind of fireworks that statement starts. I speak from experience and have no shame of what I did nor I will I sell it. I longterm am unsure how I will ever sell it than purely document what I did and how.

Does anyone have a documented original stamp?

From the errors we see, I am guessing these are being made from pictures of stamps. Some not even good pictures.
