POSSIBLE WRA GHD BUTT STOCK 014
I've seen enough doctored, damaged, and "fakified" butt stocks for Garands, and the scams always center around increasing value.
Worse still, vintage cartouched stocks are useless to me in my recreation and work. No point dragging a loosey-goosey butt stock to the range, one whose value will be attacked by tightening bedding or obscuring markings.
So I want to be rid of this crap, for purposes of replacing it with something I can use.
The Springfield GAW (ca.1944) has the look and feel of the real thing, unfooled with.
The "GHD" is a Winchester-marked piece, and the pistol grip shape seems weird to me. Still, it's not a terrible hunk of wood, and has what seems to be a WW2 SA butt plate and ferrule, swivel, and screws are intact.
Anyway, I'll be damned if I'll waste a lot of time research these, or especially, de-staining the "GAW", when it has no functionality for me. Fortuitously, I have some flawless wood that I can bed to perform suitably, so I'll just dispose of these to someone who wants them.
