What stock do I need?

**mdrim13** · 01-03-2012 12:16 AM

I have a 6-42 SA Garand icon

that I believe is all correct, except for the wood. I was wondering what the correct stock would be? I posted a thread on the gun a while back and someone mentioned the dreaded SA/GHS stock. Is this correct? (Hoping not!) What other marks would be on the stock? Im assuming there would be an ordnance wheel. If so what size would it be? Maybe some measurements?. Any other markings? I would love a picture or two of a stock that would fit said rifle if someone would be so kind. The reason I am asking is that I'm going to begining the long process of trying to find one. I just dont want to shell out the BIG bucks for a fake. What about the handguards? Are they of any certain type or are they marked? Anything else I should know before starting my search? I'll post a link to the old thread with pics of the gun just in case anyone wants to see it.

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.

SA/GHS would be the correct cartouched stock for your rifle's serial number.

SA GHS with the short barrel channel - you did not state your rifles serial number ?

The serial is 676292, as pictured in the link I posted. Could you please explain the short channel stock?As compared to the long? I have no knowledge in this area.

Also is there an ordnance wheel on the stock? If so what size? What about the "P in Circle" on the grip? Thanks.
