Inld. type 2 stock marking ???

[gunsdora]

Hi
Could use some help. I have a type 2 Inld. stock. There is some letters on the right side of the stock that I have never seen on a M1 carbine stock. MRT Would any one know what that is for. Thanks for any help.

Well MR would be a Mount Rainier Ord. arsenal rebuild, not sue about the extra T

On web gear I think it means 'Mold Resistant Treatment' but I haven't seen it on stocks. I guess the most likely thing is Mt. Rainier Arsenal, but I can't see the letters well enough to confirm anything but the 'R'.

Trying a few more pics. I put a little oil on it to bring out the letters.

Well I can see the T but I have no more ideas at this time.

'Mr. T' from the A-Team!. Seriously, I have no idea. It is a nice stock, though.
