Thanks for the great information all.
Since the rest of the rifle parts are SA... should I trade the IHC stock off for a period correct SA GAW stock? In doing a little research it looks like the IHCs are hard to find this looks to be a 52'. Do these IHC stocks bring a premium? I tried looking around a bit but could not find any active listings of these stocks or period SA GAWs to compare.

A George Woody will cost you lots...by comparison. What mark does your have? A DAS mark? Or is it something else? I still think the rifle may have been restored by someone with parts that are close to the right age. They seem to be back and forth a bit between a bit too early and late, but that's not a very hard fast rule for assembly at the factory. Besides, there are others that will know more, as you say, at least they are SA parts. More important, does it shoot? Have you tried that yet? I'm not sure you need to change the stock anywayzzz...
