High wood stocks

mdclark · 08-29-2005, 11:02 AM

Are the high wood stocks much more collectible than the low woods? I have run across one, the only one I have found so far and was just curious if they are that rare. I have been through probably 50 stocks and this is the only one I have noticed.

Any help appreciated.

I found a couple of oilers this weekend that baffled me. All I have run across in the past were marked IS. One of these was marked SW and the other was BK. Any Clues?

Thanks Always,
Mike

P.S. I sold them way too cheap I believe as evidently they are not real common.......

High woods are harder to find than low woods due to the fact that many of them were cut down to stop cracking. So as a result they are more scarce and therefor more collectable.
An SW oiler is for a Winchester and is an early oiler. BK is Blake Manufacturing and is a very late WWII replacement oiler. IS is a generic oiler and was manufactuered from about mid 43 until the end of WWII. Hope this helps.

Is there anyone who makes a composite stock for the M1 ? I would like to replace mine and keep the wood for spare or future replacement.

There are a number of aftermarkets available. RamLine is the one I see most often. They are decent stocks. I used to own one, but decided I liked the classic look better.
