still in wrap, M1A1 stock

[RCS]

This M1A1 stock was in the wrap when I got it from a friends estate after he died in 1983, the box that this stock was in was postmarked 1964. If the grip
was changed, it was done a very long time ago - why would anyone even care to change the pistol grip that long ago ?

I'd guess it was assembled that way "as new" but could be wrong.

Well it might be a Korean era rebuild set. A lot were converted back then.

According to the Overton book, J.S. Richardson sold their complete M1A1 grip making setup to SA in Dec 44, so that's the end of the line for RI3 grips.
