Help on an M1 garand stock mark???

[Brian Dentino]

This is from an M1 that I am purchasing and need to know if anyone can ID this mark on the stock? It is from a 3,4xx,xxx Springfield production (Jan.1945). Thanks in advance for your help on this......

It's probably some sort of arsenal rebuild stamp.

It's probably some sort of arsenal rebuild stamp.

Thanks, that was my guess as well.....but which one? I cannot find it amoung arsenal marks on line anywhere? Maybe an early rebuild at a lesser unit (ie. small arsenal on a post somewhere)? Just trying to find out.....?

Pretty unusual position for it though, the lower front of the pistol grip. Any other markings on the stock at all?

any of the cartouche left?
