Have you tried to steam them out? I had a stock on a Mini-14 once that rode around loose in the trunk of a Sheriff's car for years, it was pretty beat up. Lots of time with a wet washcloth and an hot iron did a pretty amazing job bringing them back to the surface.
Yeah. Several of them are sharp and deep. The fibers are broken so they don’t raise easily. Still working it through. I’m not in a hurry.
Yes it is. My kids draw pictures on my packages as well!
Ok that’s funny! I haven’t seen a target like that since the 90s!
Hey guy you need to get your Nascar picks in. The season is young you got time. The boys in that thread are talking smack about your lineage and heritage! Hah! I told em I would hound ya. I need someone to battle for the cellar spot. I usually just pick three drivers and lock them in for the whole year. Then I don’t have to devote a bunch of time and energy to it! MeMike is rocking it already, and he got his boy to jump in. Anyway consider yourself hounded! Hah!
Hay now !! You did great cousin, I have been watching, hopefully they sun pops out more today then yesterday for us here in the Natural State .

Must use that to shoot over barricades, oh wait…….. never mind!
It's to be able to accurately shoot from the hip
Not sure if I missed it but what brand is the receiver and barrel?
Well in theory it was a matching numbers HR, but when I tore it apart I found some Bastard Springfield components. Specifically the trigger assembly and op rod. Everything else was in fact HR. I am rebuilding it as National match so not a deal breaker for me. I gauged the barrel and it came in at less than two thousand rounds so I am gonna shoot it out before replacing with a swanky barrel.
Never thought of it that way…..but man that is a fact!
My thought is number matching means the reciever wasnt cut a welded.
“ Numbers Matching” is as loosely used in Garand world as it is in Mopar world. For those on here that don’t mess with Garands what BP is referring to is a very common practice on Garand receivers. They get cut and welded a lot. It is so common that I felt not the least bit disappointed when I tore it down. Reciever was intact and correct! I doubt the seller had any idea about trigger and op rod. Only a geek would catch it. Well crap I caught it! Hah!
Isn't the stock stamped too? It's been a while. I'm giving mine to my nephew who just joined the National Guard and does the salutes at military funerals.
You are correct, a legitimate correct stock has a cartouche number on left hand side basically across from where the heel of your palm is, if you are a right hand shooter. That was my first indication that I did not have correct stock. While it had the CMP stamp it is not original. Thus my bravery with the matte finish poly vs linseed or toung oil.
