As a matter of fact, this "HRA-style" stock actually is the predominate stock in the 5.16M range.

    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 M1icon Garand Photo Essay.
    Are you kidding me Wayne, someone ripped off your reasearch data? Sorry to hear this.
    That sucks!

    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 ...

    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
