That is such a cool stock! It must have been the transition after Col Woody died! History, one of the MANY reasons I love guns...Nice stock indeed.
I lucked into a relatively correct October '44 SA several years ago on a mail order field grade from the CMP. It had the original barrel, lock bar sights and this stock...
Sadly, a Winchester receiver with a Winchester barrel still eludes me.
I am seriously doubting the "a" part of your post.This really reminds me that I need a grand in the worst way. I've been on the camp site several times and for some reason always back out like an idiot

That one is a keeper! Make sure to write the history down so it doesn't get lost in time.My Dad before he passed gave me his M-1 he bought in a Detroit Pawn shop for $55 dollars back in 1955, as a Korean War Army Veteran he used it for Deer hunting most of his life, all i know is that it is still in good shape, a Springfield marked OCT 41.
