    Maker Of Type III Recoilplate Marked SC

    Trying to help out a member on the CMPicon who has a Type III Milled Recoilplate marked on the inner right edge SC

    I'll assume since it's marked it's WWII era, since (most) parts made during that time were marked.
    I've often wondered if they were made for 'extra' stocks made by Sprague&Carleton's metal supplier, but have no proof.

    Any idea Gentlemen who this maker may have been ?
    I currently see some of the same being offered on ebay, but the descriptions only list them as NOS.
    Can you help me... help him?

    I've also posted this on the CMP and The Carbine Collectors Forum... Links below:

    Appreciate any help,

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction).

    Charlie I would lean towards Standard Products, made by Climax Ind. Co.,. They did supply recoil plates but the codes not be confirmed either.
    Best Regards, GSP

    Charlie, My mistake, I would think it would have Standard Products on top, so strike that reply.
    Best of luck, GSP

    The 'C' is probably a 'G' and that's Saginaw. However, none of the prime contractors made all 60 some parts. Saginaw only made 17 of 'em. Standard Products used a plain 'S' but only made 4 of the parts including receivers. It might be Sprague & Carleton, but would not be their metal supplier. Metal suppliers just sent bar stock.
    Literally hundreds of small shops all over the Eastern U.S. made parts. That alone means there's no such thing as the fabled "correct" Carbine.
    Spelling and Grammar count!
