    Nice piece of hardware. I would have someone check it out if you are not familiar with the carbine. Nit picking...the stock is too shiny. Rub it down with fine steel wool to take some of gloss off. You will shooting it. Enjoy.

    Very nice! Looks like a full factory refurb to the Type 3 package (sight, front barrel band, flip safety and refurb stamp on the left side of the stock). I just picked up a Standard Pro (my 3rd M1icon, just have 6 more to go!) just like it. My question to the experts on this forum is did these factory refurbs usually use such a variety of parts from different manufacturers? Congrats on your first one!

    Yea, It looks like a Marlin made stock, thick wristed. 3 holes under butt plate ?
    Near the CC, Can you make out the Boxed GHD / UEF ? Seems like I can see part of it..... Or think I can.
    Also appears the stock has been oiled recently. Does it still have a sticky feel ?
    Where the Hi-Wood was cut down... Is it hard to tell by look and feel ? Or easy to tell ?
    I ask because it seems RIA cut downs were nicely done, when compared to other Arsenals... from what I've seen. And the notch meets the hand guard notch nicely.

    Looks nice, barrel gauge out pretty good ?
    Let us know how it shoots.

    Congrats on your 1st and Thx for sharing it

    Yup. Used a little raw linseed oilicon on it. I’ll hit it with the 0000 SW. Plan to shoot it.

    Three holes under Buttplate. Boxed GHD / UEF. If you look at a closeup of the wood you can see how it was unevenly cut to a low wood. I didn’t know Arsenals cut wood down as part of the repro. I’ll add shots of the knife marks in the stock. I assumed it was a soldier.

    That RLO will really make the wood grain expand and smooth out. It is going to look really great when it gets done!

    I wouldn't Steel Wool it. Give it time to dry/soak in. The shine will die down.
    When I have stocks needing Oiling,
    I dunk my stocks and Hg's in a tank with the RLO lightly thinned and warmed up.
    Then on to a Drying/dripping rack that catches the run off.
    Hour or so later I buff off any excess from the crevices.
    Another hour or two later I double check for any more run outs.
    Can be surprising how much some of them swell up.
    New life !

    If you really really want to remove any "shine" use bronze wool rather than steel wool. It doesn't rust and stain the wood. and make sure you wipe the stock afterwards with a tack cloth to remove any particles that might stick to or otherwise embed themselves into the wood.
    When they tell you to behave, they always forget to specify whether to behave well or badly!
