Gun Stock Information

[Shimanocono]

An online friend of mine found some gun stocks in a neighbours shed and was allowed to take them. Now he's wondering if anyone has any information on them or wondering if they have any value.

Saw cut stocks

What your buddy found look to be the rear portion of some stocks that have been cut in half.
The top one is an M1 Carbine, a WWII US Army jobby, there are two more. The others, I have no idea, but they are missing the front half also.

They would make good cribbage boards, but that's about it.

The butt plates with screws would be useful to somebody. No doubt that they would sell in he put them on FleaBay.

M1/M2 carbine butts, and M1 Garand butts.......cut off the stock for some odd reason.

Hello everyone,

I am the one that found the stocks.

Well since i have alot of the sawed stocks anyone have any ideas to do with them except burn them?

 

[CFD]

ok well i might make a buck making cribbage boards out of them, kinda of a good idea if sold of fleabay,(i mean if you paint a tin can red, someone will buy it...) does anyone have any m1/m2 carbine bullets out there that they might be able to get to me for free?

There is a market for them, but it isn't huge, infact its pretty small.

These are a loss financially, they cost far more to make than then you could sell them for. I only make them for fellow gunnuts and people I know.

That said, if you want to sell a few of the stocks, let me know, I would be happy to get a few.

poor, poor M1 Carbine stocks.....

Were I a betting man, I'd say the rifles that used to wear thsoe stocks were likely demilled by the same saw cuts

Sad to see those M1 stocks cut like that, I suspect that Clave has hit the nail on the head and that the recievers were cut with the stocks on.

Nooooooooooooo

Its best not to think of it....*sniffle*

"...except burn them..." Geezuz, no. They're useless and worthless as stocks, but ideal for anybody wanting to learn/practice stock checkering.
"...paint a tin can red..." That'd be a rare CF SSF issue red tin can too.

 

[Bittermansbro]

Yea, thats a good idea Sunray, I used an old stock to practise stripping and re working, better than ruining a good'un.

 

[CFD]

i found 3 more stocks. Are they sawed off too?

Oh and all the sawed stocks i have

EDIT: One of the images keeps resizing itself REALLY BIG on the board so i cant post it

 

[Skippy]

Those new ones are sawed off as well unfortunatly.

 

[Bittermansbro]

YEa too bad. Not to want to stick the knife into myself any more, but CFD, do they have any stampings on the flat sides of the butts? armoury marks, inspector initials, crossed cannons?

there are two marks one is |SG| and the other one is hard to identify

(may need to enhance to see the marks)

 

[Bittermansbro]

Thats a Saginaw Steering Gear mark with their crossed cannons mark. Darn it all, another loss.

Thanks for the pic CFD, appreciate it.
