Value of USGI Stocks

[Keller]

I searched the EE and didn't find any results.

What's the going rate right now for a Vietnam era USGI M14 Stock (I believe it is birch) in fair to good condition? Some dings and minor scratches.

 

[Claven2]

Depends alot on condition and where it is located. Figure on $100-200 depending.

It is amazing how much those stocks have gone up in value. I bought mine for $40 several years ago and thought I paid too much.

they won't export gi m14 stocks to canada...50 year old item....

I have 2 that I ordered from Fred's M14 stocks 7 or 8 years ago and was curious how the export restrictions had affected the price. Not quite selling time yet.

My chu wood might have a crack in it... but it was free!

I need a nice GI walnut stock one day.

I would not hoard GI stocks for eventual re-sale. Marstar is importing a whack-job of M14 stocks from the US - they are working on the paperwork and once it goes through there will be a large quantity of decent and affordable stocks to be had - the bubble will burst, just a matter of when.

Good to know that. Thanks for posting.

I'm not hoarding them per se, just keeping them until they are worth more to somebody else than they are to me.

I picked up a "factory second" from Boyd's awhile ago-turned out really nice, and it only cost $40 ($70 shipped).

Marstar will be doing a service by bringing in the stocks. There aren't all that many around. They used to sell for $10.00 for a good walnut one.

Are the USGI fiberglass stocks all fiberglass or do they have the meatal peices in them as well ?

Aluminum retainer pieces inlayed were the 2 halves are joined.

I think he means the steel liner for the receiver lugs, and no, the fibreglass stocks don;t have that - nor do they need it.

Just like they are in the "process of importing" the M305B and the ChiCom SKS? I have heard that a lot of people are tired of waiting for Marstar to get this stuff availiable, and are cancelling their orders with them. Lots of other stores and dealers have had these rifles in stock for a long time already.
I wouldn't hold my breath with them getting M14 stocks anytime soon, if ever....
