    M1903 stock marking question

    Got an 03 straight stock has "J" in cutoff no grasping grooves, no other markings on outside of stock! There is an outlined "R" under butt plate! Hand guard has a "9" inside muzzle end. What manufacturer made these?IMG_1536.jpg
    Freedom is not free, the cost can be seen everyday, for it is engraved in marble, cast in bronze and highlighted with little American flags!

    The stock was made by Sedgley under contract from the USMC. The handguard was made by Springfield Armory.
