Mystery Stock

[Orlando]

Finally got around to wiping this stock down, it was very dirty from years of laying in a pile, discarded no one wanted it anymore. Its really nothing special has a crack through he wrist, cartouche has been sanded but oh if she could talk. Looks to probably be a SA/GHS and its a Barnwood Stock .

Makes me wonder if Bill and Pat were buddies that were KIA. What stories that stock could probably tell. Goodness.

Just the Barnwood history alone is pretty interesting

Nice example Bill, I would guess by the 91 in the barrel channel it is a SA GHS as I use to track the barrel channel letters/number and sometime serial number. There is always a chance of overlap into the EMcF era too.

The very early SA SPG barrel channels were routed-out in a different method and often with a single letter - photos will show the variations

Thanks for additional info and pics!
