    Scant stock marking??

    I have an 03A3 scant stock with "45" stamped under the butt plate and no other marking. Is it a manufacturing date?

    Is it a similar style of stock to this on my U.K. deactivated 1903A3 which is a scant stock, I believe? I wasn't aware that they were normally dated.

    I doubt it is a date - more likely just an obscure sub-inspection stamp.

    Are you able to post a few pictures, please, Calflash? It would be interesting to see and Forum members may be able to give you some further information.
