Well, that's one way to ruin a good $25 pouch. Haven't seen that before. Is there no end to stupidity?

Jim,

This was a WWII field modification used when GI's brought their battle worn rifles back in to have a new CC re-stamped.
(Didn't you read it in George and his buddy's new book about carbines?)

Is the circled P seen this late?

[usgicollector]

Not from the factory

[Garandrew]

It doesnt look right, neither does the escutcheon..

[imarangemaster]

George???? Writing a book?????? You have o be kidding. He will list all the rare variation and odd letter coded parts that never existed, but he happens to have new old stock he got from a trusted source!

[Bill Hollinger]

The stock is a new commercially made stock with counterfeit cartouches. At that price mine just went up

[Garandrew]

I was going to say..it looked like a humper to me

Stock pouch left on is always a clue of something wrong. Commerical stock, good catch and it is. but the wood is pretty.
