I believe it stands for Toole. I cannot remember where it was located.

I was thinking myself that Toole, UT used TE on Garand rebuilds.
The old arsenal is on what is now Hill AFB, IIRC

Dave,

I have seen it penciled on the receiver. But ter-re said TE on stock not on the receiver. That I have not seen.
