Doesn't appear to be GI or Springfield Armory because it doesn't have any checkering. Anybody know who made it? ![[Linked Image]](http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll21/garand101/135_zpsd55c05c5.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll21/garand101/114_zps54914271.jpg)

never saw an M1A stock with checkering FWIW. At a glance its not a Mc Millan I don't think.
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....

Springfield has both with and without checkering, depending on when you bought the rifle.
Early, early GI fiberglass were not checkered, but it's probably not one of those.
Rumor was a Bell and Carlson special run was made for Springfield, but I don't have any solid references for that.

Oh yeah, I forgot about those, never seen one in real life though. Seems the flimsy plastic ones did have checkering

This is definitely not flimsy plastic. It's a good solid stock.

I'm sure you checked it, but I have seen one in painted wood?

This is definitely not flimsy plastic. It's a good solid stock. Never said yours was. Just recalling the issue plastic/glass stock with the M14 from days gone by. Fairly flimsy compared to a good stock. All our M1As have Mc Millan on them so still can't help ya. Good luck.
