Stock Markings

**Brasidas** · 10-04-2009 03:31 PM

Hi,

I'm a new member and this is my first question.

I recently acquired an IBM M1 icon

carbine and it has two stock marks i would like help identifying.

The first is a .U. that is just above the pistol grip and the other looks like a JLE inside the oiler/sling hole.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

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.

The U indicates the stock went through a rebuild at Underwood post war. The markings in the sling well is JL-B. Stock was made by Jamestown Lounge Co. for IBM.

Thanks for your reply. Both the barrel and receiver are marked IBM so it is remotely possible that this stock is original?

It is remotely possible but unlikely. No way to know for sure.
