Hi Everyone,
I am previewing (7) relatively recent USGI stock refinishes from my shop. I will provide some information about each stock and will note if they will be up for adoption. Some of the stocks come from my runs to Fred’s, others I have acquired on our own PX or elsewhere and completed full refinishes on the stocks. If you have any special USGI stocks you are looking for I may have something [I have ~50 stocks in my shop ranging from Elite to budget level] – in both Big Red or Standard Size. I don’t post that often on the PX as many just contact me for and we work on a project, but I will be posting some on the PX in the future as I continue to refinish my inventory. Lastly, in some of the pics [i.e. the stocks shot outside on the steps] – you will see a straight dark vertical line – this is the shadow cast by the op rod – the sun was just at the right angle to make the shadow.
I hope you enjoy the pics - M1Army

Stock #1 SOLD– Amazing H. Sacks & Sons Inc. Big Red Birch stamped ^S-11010263 under the butt plate. This stock is in “my top two” of ANY Raw Birch Stock I have personally picked. Note the horizontal downward grain pattern which I have not seen often! This stock is fiery and throws - off many different colors when you get it outside in natural light. The refinish is a 4 stain Stew Mac Mix and teak oil finish. This stock was a great project [This stock also has a DoD Stamp and proof P in round circle not just the “P” or a “P in a square” which would be an arsenal rebuild]. I have seen VERY few with both Markings which makes this stock even better. This stock is SOLD and will be living with a forum member in New Mexico.
Stock # 2 - is a beautiful Winchester Big Red Birch stamped WW-11010263 under the butt plate. This stock has beautiful figuring/striping and contrasts dark birch grain and deep amber undertones. This is one of my stocks from my last run to Fred’s. I used teak oil and a 3 stain Stew Mac Stain combination to highlight some of the dark birch grain, then I applied a second stain Vintage Amber to highlight the beautiful Birch straight grain. This stock is available for sale.
Stock #3 SOLD – is another beautiful Winchester Big Red Birch stamped WW-11010263 under the butt plate. I used teak oil, Tobacco Brown, Vintage Amber and a mix of Red Cherry & Mahogany on this stock. I previewed this stock recently, but due to some changes with customers and stock choices this stock is now available for sale. I know the stock ferrule is not on this stock [but no worries] it will be!
Stock #4 – is a beautiful heavy striped standard sized Walnut. This stock was difficult to photograph and looks different depending on light conditions. The striping magically appears and disappears depending on light and angles. I previewed this stock too, but again a customers final choice left this available. This stock is finished in teak oil.
Stock #5 Sold– is a classic Winchester Big Red Birch stamped WW-11010263 under the butt plate. This stock has beautiful grain and classic lines but no heavy figuring. I like the heavy figured stocks as much as anyone, but once I completed this Big Red and locked it up – I was reminded how beautiful and clean a nicely grained big red stock is when refinished. If you like a nice clean look this will make your M14/M14 look beautiful. The finish is tobacco brown with Cherry red and teak oil. This stock is available for sale.
Stock #6 – is a H. Sacks and Son’s Big Red Birch stamped ^S 11010263 under the butt plate. I don’t normally name stocks but this one is a “BRUTE.” This stock takes on many different colors but just has a “mean” interesting look! You can see some of the amazing grain colors in the photos [and in person it is unique]. I used a combination of Stew Mac Colors [this means I really mixed it up!!] to highlight the interesting grain patterns and the stock is finished with teak oil. This stock is available for sale.
Stock #7 – is a Beautiful heavy grained standard sized Walnut. The stock has a pin punch ferrule but no other markings on the stock or under the butt plate. I found this stock on the PX and no one was very interested [maybe because seller posted "not so good" pics etc.] but it is one unique looking stock. This stock was finished using teak oil and is available for sale.
