    Anyone seen this stock marking?

    It's currently on a GB Carbine with M2 stock.

    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). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Stock markings above are distorted. A better picture reveals it's SSABo.

    With the help from our Friendly fellow member from Pordenone, Italyicon we now know this SSABo stands for:

    Sezione Staccata di Artiglieria Bologna - Detached Artillery Section in Bologna


    Some there from The Ex Ordinanza Site had reported these markings on their Carcanos coming from the Terni Arsenal.

    Success !!

    It makes sense too, the only thing I came up with was the FAT stocks. Same star and type of stamp.
