Bill,

This is a pic of a cartouce on a birch M14 stock I'd bought from US Armory.

The stock was pretty much perfect & doesn't look to have ever been sanded or armory refinished in any way.

Just curious to see what you think, is this a real DAS stamp?

Thanks!

There are so many M14 stocks on the market that there is no need to repro cartouches. Garands, Carbines, and 03's are entirely different stories.

I see a place in the Shotgun News is selling the metal stamps "for restoration purposes only" :roll:

btw, they sell the EXACT stamp to repro, er restore the above marking...but, now that I've done a search for "cartouche", I see this has been disgusted :wink: many times before...

there is no need to fake them yet there are fake marked stocks out there. some are even cartouched yet with no selector cut-out. :roll:
