I don't see a semi-V. Nor do I see a full V.

Anyone here belong to the Berwin rod and gun club in Bowie. I believe each member can take up to 4 guests. Might be 3, I'm not sure.

Well it's definitely walnut, anyway.

Is that a good thing?

 

[Vile Shadow]

I certainly wouldn't call it a bad thing. Walnut's purty.

So, what is it? Back yard project from Bubba's lumber? Or is it a re-stock from the 60's? Or original equipment? IHC, SA, HRA or Winchester? Anyone?....

Your guess is probably as good as mine, or anybody else's. We may never know.

Thanks S/B

That looks like USGI walnut, from before the 60s, otherwise, I don't know. I do know it looks great. I'd be happy with that stock.

By the way, most people prefer walnut over birch any day.

 

[Bafflingbs]

Awesome 3B!

Looks like your standard USGI 50's replacement stock. Usually the only cartouche they will have is a proof P on the inside of pistol grip. I've had several of them over the years, they are slightly larger than the WW2 stock profile.

Yep, I certainly do. The stock on my M1A is walnut, so mine match.

No can do. Mine ain't the requisite caliber.

I really want to do this. It sounds so cool. I guess I'd better get it sighted in soon.

It didn't say 30.06, it only says .30 cal. Isn't .308 .30 cal? Never mind, reading is fundamental, it says m2 ball ammo. Sorry S/B.
