The wood is flawless but I have since replaced it with a correct wartime stock covered in dents and dings, just the way I like 'em. I wore the SOCOM patch to Desert Storm when I was assigned to the 4th PsyOps Group. AATW!
Update: I found a correct wartime "EMcF" stock online and some matching handguards at a local gunshow to replace the CMP stock. The cartouches are faint but visible and the stock bears some trench art cut into the wood. Some lonely GI carved the name "Gisele" on one side and used a bullet...
Thanks!
I appreciate all of the responses and efforts to find a cartridge for me. I will just "bite the bullet" and order one online. Thanks, Everyone! :thumbsup:
If you can't find it, no problem. I found a web site that has them for 1$ each plus shipping. I just want to complete the clip and keep it as a match for my '43 M1. Let me know. Thanks.
The stray cartridge is headstamped "Superspeed 30-06 SPRG" and is fairly old. It is indistinguishable from the other cartridges and attracts a magnet. I can shoot it from my M1903-A3.
"I’m confused. This is all the ammo you’ll ever need?"
No, I have some HXP ammo that I got from the CMP. The enbloc clip and ammo was just something that I found at a gun show this weekend. I bought it to go with the '43 Springfield M1 that I got from the CMP.
If anyone has a single 30-06 cartridge with a headstamp of "DEN 43", I would like to buy it from you. At the Eastern Shore Arms Collector show on Sunday I picked up an enbloc clip of ammo that I thought was all headstamped "DEN 43" but somebody stuck a single commercial cartridge in the clip...
One place these "moms" will never go is the inner city, where every weekend is a free-fire zone. They choose to protest some place safe because they are cowards.
Citizens of states that follow the Constitution don't have this problem. Misguided politicians in Maryland use the law to impose their will on the people.
