I picked up a couple of USGI M14 stocks at the gun show. There is NO metal (not even the stock liner) on either.
DAS stamp and firing proof P are very well struck on stock #1 (looks like an SA "P"), DAS is weak and "P" is boxed on stock #2.
What are they worth without metal?
$30.00 less than you paid for them ?:)
That would be bad... :)
I'll probably get the stock metal and try to sell them. Is there a way to tell manufacturer by firing proof? The square p has what looks like a stylized "S" stamped in the buttplate recess.
From what I remember the "S" would make it a Sykes stock
WITH metal,They are $35 from CMP.
Are the CMP stocks birch or walnut? These stocks are flat out mint. If not for a couple of storage dings (and the firing proof) I'd say these were un-issued.
Mint stocks with metal will go for over $100.00
From the examples I have seen,They can be Birch or Walnut and crap to mint.Quote:

I'll take a picture of these and let you guys decide what they look like. I've never even shot an M1A/M14 so it's all new to me.
