    Rock-Ola 1,753,xxx Stock?

    Sorry serial number should read 1,713,xxx.
    Would you expect to find either a I cut or Oval cut Hi-wood stock on a RMC 1,713,xxx?
    RMC are new to me, but it would seem per the books either might be found.
    Am I wrong?

    Appreciate any help...

    Regards

    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.

    My 1729xxx has an I-cut high wood, which is believed to be original as mfgd. This carbine was produced 10-43. At this time Rock-Ola was sending I-cut highwood stocks to Inland. hth.

    David,
    Would that be the RMC with the I stamped in the slingwells?
    I have some pictures here passed along from that guy in Indiana ;-)
    that show those markings. I can't remember if the first 2 are I cut. I know the 3rd one is.




    Remember I have that Oval Cut Hi-Wood Stamped RSG with the I in the slingwell and a Inland CC. The Inland sized CC is distorted from being sanded over and having a rack paint job on it. But after stripping it enough remains to be able to measure it and see it's an Inland CC Stamp.It also has the green number stamp inside that I've found on many early Robert Irwin stocks.
    It's the bottom one in this before picture,

    It's the right one in this before picture,






    I'm still trying to figure out what to use this one on...Early Inland...I guess. Now if I only had a early Inland...may have to sell it. But how in the world would you describe it to a newer collector?
    The wood fascinates me....the metal is a plus.

    These are a strange animal.... !
    Thanks for all help

    The RMC I at the top is definitely an I-Cut as it passed through my hands at one time. All of the RMC I stocks that I've seen are I-cut highwood. Rock-Ola produced an abundance of I-Cut stocks and we know they were in use at least through 10-43. At some point the highwood oval was phased in, there is a lot of speculation as to when this took place. Unfortunately there are very few original unmessed with Rock-Ola's to glean knowledge from. Most all of the original 2nd block Rock-Ola's with their original stocks I've seen are highwood oval cut. My personal thoughts are the I-Cut was used throughout most of the first block. Your RSG I Inland CC is definitely an interesting stock. Perhaps one for articles and knowledge yet to be written.
