Thats what I was told about the "high wood". Would it have been an SA stock? Thanks Mike, Jay

[Rick the Librarian]

Look at the foretip - there should be a 1/8" S stamped there.

[bulldog_mack13]

If I understand you, there is an S there. I found 3 markings on the stock , Jay

Very nice! Now you need to invest in a high-hump handguard!

[bulldog_mack13]

Anyyyone have one around they dont want?? I sure do need that.

[P-07ShortLee]

Nice early stock.

Those earlier handguards are not easy to find though.

[bulldog_mack13]

I now have one on the way. Maybe it will be here later this week.

I will put some pictures up when its all put together and done. Anyone know the year of the stock?

[Mike D]

The high-wood stocks are pre 1910. Brophy has the J.F.C. stamp starting in 1905. Question is, was the stock originally a no-bolt stock or a one-bolt. I think there is a possibility of either.

Is there a way to tell if both bolts were added at the same time? Does the staking on the right side of each bolt look the same?

I think this a type 1 stock because of the shape of the comb. So, probably both bolts were added at the same time.

I was the one who traded this stock to him for his "C" stock.
