The first examples that surfaced (to my knowledge) at Ft Leonard Wood were on TRW rifles issued to basic training companies. These stocks were without any checkering and were marked inside D-3741 right half GB-2 R and left half GB-2 L. These being introduced in service in Dec 1963 at Ft Leonard Wood..
The second variation with checkered forearm and pistol grip replaced the first pattern but I am not certain of the time of introduction - anyone know ?
There was also a very early synthetic M14 stock that used the M1 rifle butt plate too. Photos show both variations
