Many of these have found their way back to the US. Many foriegn govs made and replaced stocks from time to time. Now - these caribines have been all over the world since WWII. they were all Type V potbelly and marked SA. Springfield produced some stocks post war.

Rebuilds, arms rooms stamps, soldier's stamps, foreign gov stamps, etc. There can be all kinds of stamps and numbers on these stocks. Winchester did produce some unmarked at the end of production. Most all manufactures marked their stock in the slingwell. The two you pictured looks to be Tyle III later production or replacements. There were 14 different manufactures of stocks for the carbine. Walnut was used at the beginning of the war for all M1 carbine stocks however, in the later production birch and cherry was used by several manufactures. SO.what do y'all think? Any input, opinions, or clarity will be much appreciated. what do these stand for? Are they foreign markings? I thought foreign depots were prohibited from putting rebuild marks on the stocks? Pictures below. (b) Above the hand-grip there is a "G" marking and "AE" marking. (a) there is a "U" stamped onto the left side of the stock (which is where rebuild marks are placed) near the hand-grip as seen in the picture.I understand Underwood used "U" for their rebuild mark but this one is upside down. Where I am confused: (1) The wood of the stock: is it Birch or a Bubba? (2) The markings. I am also not sure of the manufacturer because I am not familiar with the markings. In my opinion, the stock looks to be sanded and refinished BUT I also know there were some Carbines that received Birch wood. SECOND: I do not really know where to begin with this one. Does this one look to have been refinished (sand/paint) by someone? What are your opinions? Pictures below. Also there is no "P" in a circle I do know that not all Carbine stocks received that mark.

I have never, ever, ever seen one made like this. Has this been done by a skilled bubba? There are no signs of sanding or filing. Where I am confused: The stock's hand-grip. I have a pretty decent understanding of M1 Carbine stock markings but have recently come across two "oddballs" that have me :scratch:įIRST: In my opinion, this one appears to be a Winchester for two reasons: (1) the disgusting parkerize finish on the Front Band Locking Spring and (2) the "W" mark inside the left side sling well.

I need a little bit of help from the more knowledgeable.
