SOLD - M1 Garand Birch Stock with Firing Test Proof - Post-WW2/Refurbished

Description

12/17/24 - This M1 Garand stock is made of birch wood with a dark finish, typical of post-WWII refurbishing efforts. It is in great condition, showing only minor scratches and dents throughout, which add character to the wood without affecting its overall integrity. The stock is unmarked except for the "78" painted on both the left and right sides near the butt plate, which likely indicates a rack number or unit identification from a military inventory. The stock also features a firing test proof on the front of the pistol grip, a common stamp found on military-issued parts to confirm they passed inspection. This stock does not include any metal components, such as the butt plate or sling swivel, making it suitable for someone looking to complete or restore an M1 Garand. Despite the minor imperfections, this stock remains a solid piece of military history, ready for a restoration project or as a replacement for an M1 Garand rifle.
