    Question about hi wood IMB stock

    I have a stock in my QH 1,603422 carbine that a collector identified as a IBM hi wood I cut stock and not the correct stock. I have since installed another stock on the QH.

    I am attempting to find out the approximate value of this IBM stock in order to sell it outright or for trading. I will post some photo of the stock taken with the QH carbine.

    Thanks RobertAttachment 100453Attachment 100452Attachment 100451Attachment 100450Attachment 100449

    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.

    Hi Robert, it is a very hard to find and desirable stock. RMC made for early IBM, your cartouche could be a little better but is honest. The way prices have been going on quality rare stocks lately I would say $500.00 or more to the right collector.

    Best Regards.....Frank

    Roughly about the first 18,500 RMC stocks from beginning of production would have had the Large B.

    RMC ended up being a rather large supplier of stocks early on.
    IIRC, I've seen RMC stocks used by QHMC, IBM, Underwood, Inland and SG.

    To Ten's Inquire:
    Seeing that many early RMC stocks were unmarked for... but issued to QHMC.
    Seems very possible that in the mix of RMC-B stocks that the stamped B wouldn't have always been applied. If you pay attention the B's were separately and randomly placed when they were stamped.

    The I-Cut RMC with the B in the sling well stocks were reported in the 3673XXX to 3747XXX serial number range.
