View Full Version : question on rebuild stamps
I have a WW2 Winchester stock that still has a faint WRA WB cartouche. This stock also
has a AAP stamp which is Augusta Arsenal and the inspector initial. I am not certain
about the AOR stamp ? could be Anniston ? anyone know about the AOR stamp46309
Speculation has it that it might be Anniston with a letter suffix. There's only one other mention of 'AOR' that I can find. And that's on an old CMP forum page. There's some speculation that it might be a Greek mark too. Might, very heavily on the 'might', be Arlington Ordnance/Blue Sky.
It clearly wasn't done at the same time as the AAP though.

We've been trying to confirm that mark for years. Most believe it is Anniston Ordnance Depot, the name used by that depot before they changed it in the early 1960s.

There was also an Augusta Ordnance Depot in Augusta,Ga that did depot rebuilds.
