1927 is too early for a Type C stock. A grasping groove stock would be appropriate. An SADAL marked stock would be appropriate. It could have been overhauled by one of the arsenals, but I'm not "conversant" with the exact timing of their inspection stamps to say. Supposedly Augusta Arsenal and Benecia Arsenl were two I'm away of.

Thanks for the info.
Would the stock I have be considered "correct" for either 1918 issue, or the 1927 rebuild?

Remember , IF the rifle went through a rebuild and IF they added the barrel then , it could have been in ANY year after the barrel was made ....'27 , '29 , '32 , '41 , '44 , etc. If you want a "C" stock on her , find one with a rebuild stamp on it and use it . My .02.

I think the stock you have would be appropriate for either '18 or '27. Unless you are crawling through mud and barbwire, doing bayonet drills, or standing in a downpour, I'd leave the stock on the rifle and enjoy the range time.

You have a very decent stock - I think I'd leave it be.

Unless you're planning on throwing the rifle around roughly or dropping it a lot or otherwise violently abusing it, just leave it. It isn't in pristine condition and it won't loose any value by using it on the rifle. It was meant to be on it. It's correct to the rifle. Don't try to fix something that aint broke. Any other stock you put on the rifle will be wrong.

I think you should sell it right away. Reply to my email and I will take it off your hands.

Keep in mind that the barrel date is when the BARREL was made. The rebuild COULD have taken place in 1927, but also could have happened weeks, months or even years, later.
