RMC marked I-cut stock....?

[dewegner]

I just examined a walnut carbine stock with a large cross cannon on the butt close to the I-cut in the stock. The sling well has RMC and a flaming bomb in it. No M2 cut, or any rebuilt marks. I'm thinking it was a Rockola produced stock that somehow made it onto an Inland produced rifle. I never heard that Rockola supplied any stocks to Inland, but I suppose anything is possible. I see that they supplied 10,000 sears to them but that's all. Any other theories?

What you have just described is most likely a very early QHMC stock supplied by Rock-Ola. These stocks are denoted with a large, in fact the largest CC acceptance stamp of any manufacturer and is almost always located close to the I-cut oiler well. Inland did receive I-Cut stocks from Rock-Ola in about 10-43. They were marked with their smaller acceptance stamp and are usually denoted RMC I in the sling well. Here is a photo of my early QHMC Rock-Ola supplied I-Cut stock. It resides on 1558xxx. hth.

dbarn is right probably QHMC. Here's another QHMC/Rock-Ola stock on 1582xxx.

Sling well.

yes sir, that is exactly how it looks. Come to think about it did look like the cross cannon was a tad bit bigger than an Inland cannon. It is a perfect match to the first photo. Thanks to you all, I am now illumminated!
