stripperclip, that carbine stock is stunning.

It belongs to a ladyfriend of mine.

It is an original birch military M2 stock.

Seems I am not alone in liking pretty stocks.

How does that SC shoot? What are you doing for ammo, anything special, like hand loads, etc.?

I got mine from CMP a short while back. It's one of the American Legion or VFW returns that has some issues in the stock, but the bore is just fine. I haven't taken it to the range yet. Maybe when the snow finally melts. :roll:

She shoots just fine with the CMP Lake City ammo.

Bore is a two groove Remington that appears new.
