    Korean (?) ID Tag on Carbine Stock

    Just opened a box of stocks and found a Type III OI Inland stock with the Korean Rack numbers painted on the right rear.
    Common enough I know....But this is the first I've run across with a label still stuck to it under the forearm. I've had a few before like this that had the tape residue still left there, but no tag.
    In the pictures you can see the bottom of the pistol grip bears the number 254, which can be seen on the column on the right.
    Near the oiler you'll see the number 2.5. This can be seen on the tag at the bottom of the right column.
    I plan to pull off the tape and see if anything is written on the underside of the label.
    Anyone run across this before?

    BTW, it's marked OI in the slingwell, 1 partial P stamp on the front of the grip and what looks to be a faint Ordnance Wheel left under the painted on Rack numbers. No Armory Depots stampings.

    This last one shows where I've started to pull the tape from the top corner,

    Haven't seen any tags here in Canadaicon, but we don't get the volume of them that you do.

    Charlie, to answer your question mark, yes that is Korean alphabet - but I am stating the obvious....

    The good news is that you are back to messing with stocks therefore you must be mending pretty good... good to have your pictures (and you) back in the workshop.

    Hacking and coughing would be the pits.

    Stay warm and rest up.

    Jim,
    Staying warm is the top priority here right now.
    It's around 12 out, not counting the wind chill.
    The guys are all out ice fishing today.
    The sitting part is getting old.....

    Charlie

    Charlie, -17 air temp here this morning, -25 wind chill. I hated this kind of weather when we had cattle. Needless to say I didn't do a run this morning (stoke the fire and hang in there).....Frank

    Brrrrrrrr!

    It was close to zero here in Jerseyville, with a windchill of -8 when I got up at 6:30 AM. I have to leave to go to Minnesota a family funeral on Monday. Wind chill of-30 there! Ugh.
