There is a key identifier to spotting one of these stocks, but I will not name it here. It seems that most of my postwar ID work has been pirated, packaged, and is now being sold as the
M1 Garand Photo Essay.
Are you kidding me Wayne, someone ripped off your reasearch data? Sorry to hear this.
That sucks!

No numbers in the channel.
There are no numbers in the channels of these HRA-style stocks. It is my personal opinion that these stocks were shipped directly from HRA to IHC. There is a reason for this, and other parts exchanges in mid-1955 (i.e. IHC DRC windage knobs on SA rifles) but I will break that fact in my IHC book. --- GWB
