041 Marking on M1 Garand Stock

Yes, the 0 4 1 is an enduring mystery.

Gentlemen,

I have 2 M1's from the DCM that I purchased from the men who originally received them. One was without the paperwork and one was with all paperwork including the box and protective wrapping. The 041's both shipped from Rock Island Arsenal in 1982. The protective wrap of one Garand does have the A-4 and the 041 in the same line. My guess Anniston sent all their surplus to Rock Island for storage. The one in the wrap still has the barrel tube and protective wrap on the buttstock, it has never been fired since it's rebuild. Both have new LMR barrels.

If you want pictures, let me know. Ill try to figure that out.

Respectfully,

Rev.+Paul

That's OK. I'm still ambulatory and taking nourishment. Thanks for the additional info. So the talk about Anniston and Rock Island might be in the right direction.
