    Replacement M1 Stock - Want NEW Walnut(not Boyds)

    I have a late war Springfield M1icon with a post war fattie Birch eyesore on it. I think I need a SA/NFR. But to make me enjoy the rifle more until I can find/afford a nice marked original, I want to drop it into a New Walnut stock.
    I read a few years back when I was an M1 carbine collector, the there was a Boyds alternative. It was better suited to a WWII rifle being slimmer and oil stained to WWII specs. Does anyone here Recall this? any leads?
    Thanks.

    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.

    Another suggestion...

    You may also wish to consider ordering a new stock and hand guard set from CMPicon, they are reported to be drop-in (or almost so), and are very reasonably priced. Check it out. Karl

    M1 Stock

    I would agree with Twinson get a stock from Dean http://www.dgrguns.com/New-M1-Garand-Stocks.htm.

    You can also go with a CMPicon stock if your wanting to save some money http://estore.odcmp.com/store/catalo...4=&note5=&max=.

    I would go with Dean myself you will be able to drop your rifle right into his stock. CMP's stock you'll have to do a little fitting to it to make it right.

    Thanks for the suggestions. I enjoy finishing an can do any fitting/inletting, so I am leaning towards the CMPicon's WW2 profile.

    Anyone got an attractive, walnut, Non GI take-off they dont want???

    I had an M1icon with the same problem. I bought a usgi refinished stock from Numrich. It was quite a nice stock, of course the only sign of USGI ownership was a faind circle "P" on the pistol grip. The only problem was the rear hanguard was a Boyd's (I suspect anything you get from most folks new will be a Boyd's) but I was able to swap it for a USGI. I wound up with almost like new wood for just over $100.00 for the set. Unfortunately they are sold out of those but if you don't mind doing some refinishing they have some walnut "dent and ding" stocks for as little as $39.00. Buy the handguards from them as well and you might get some nice USGI wood for a reasonable price that may be quite pretty with a little elbow grease.

    the CMPicon stock set is a good deal, very little fitting, some were none, and a tight fit = shoots well. most, not all, but most I have had were nice looking to me. good luck.

    CMP Boyd's came on my Winchester

    My new Winchester arrived from the CMPicon last week. It came with a brand new, beautiful CMP stock. It fits great, but maybe they had to do some fitting at the CMP. Looks like birch to me. Has great tiger stripning. As nice as the rifle is, I won't be keeping it. It's just not what was hoping for and I do have an earlier USGI Whinchester. I'll probably put it up on the classifieds next week.

    Thougt you might want to see what one of their stocks looks like.

    I'll have to put up some pictures of my new DGR stock when it arrives on Wednesday. My CMPicon service grade Springfield (Jan '43) came with a new birch set and while it looks nice, I am confident that Dean's slim walnut set will fit and look 10x better.
