      That would seem to be too late for a WB, but nothing is ever certain as the receivers were assembled into guns out of serial number order.
      There is a chance at least the stock was replaced. I would be more inclined to say the adapter is right for the gun based on the serial.

        The Armory does not have these guns listed on their website, they don't really have a website, just teasers on their Facebook page about the "collection" they are going to be selling. Is everyone supposed to drive to Mass with pockets full of cash to get the deals?

        How is the pricing on the stuff being offered?

          They do have the guns claimed, I've seen a list and a number of the guns. Regarding pricing, the guns are on consignment from an estate. The shop is doing their fiduciary duty to the owners and trying to get full value for them, however, they have called the owners with reasonable offers during my two visits. I would suggest you make an appointment and get detailed direction if you decide to visit.

            Your 97 serial number is slightly higher (only by a few thousand) than where we start to see GHD stocks, later style heat shields, and US and Ord bomb marked receivers. But like scosgt said, the guns were not assembled in numerical order. So the WB stock may be original.

                I have a M97 trench "WB" stock, 4 row heat shield, 946,28X. Funny to have two in the same configuration only 100 serial numbers apart.
