Some guys take a grinder to Carbines !. Makes me Cry. Why they do it, I do not know. From a collectors point of view it makes them just worthless. It pays to keep an eye open for this type of damage. Note the numbers stamped in the left top of the stock and the non Inland recoil plate. Mike.

What do you think they were trying to take off?

Seems an odd place for people to keep doing this?
