Who made this stock - The Carbine Collector's Club

@Hunterman, although the stock originally pictured in this thread was a Robert W. Irwin stock, you were also correct in that Milton Bradley stocks often have a similar shape around the recoil plate. New2brass sent me this picture recently. You should get at least half credit on this quiz. Here's the pic of a Milton Bradley stock marked BR-B.

Wow, Have not observed the OB in oiler cut! Everyone check theirs!

I finally have some time to take pictures but it seems another has popped up, but an RSG

Not as squared off but still a gap.

Previous to this thread I had posted the following

I have seen washers under the recoil plate, JB weld or bedding of the recoil plate. I do not think the recoil plate was designed to be so tight into the wood, rather I think it was meant to be lifted and bolt as an adjustment. If you look at a RSG stock you will see a great many left the factory with a decent gap around the recoil plate area. I do not think ordnance would have accepted these if there was an issue.

Funny that the washer thing just popped up, Will address that later.

And I officially take myself out of the running as being first with naming it in one note, This was an excellent quiz and I hope many have learned from it!

You can from time to time see a gap in the recoil plate on other stocks too, although it's most likely not by design. Think sanding, shrinkage, and even human error of some kind or another. I have also read that cast recoil plates can have much the same gap issue.
Keep in mind that the chin area (underneath) of an Irwin stock has a pretty quick transition to the bottom part compared to other stocks. All I say is that someone tried, I think, to picture that...

So do all IR stocks look like this on does around the recoil plate? What else in the other pics were indicators that it was an Irwin stock?

We have several winners. Actually Dan was the first winner. The single note of a tune, really?

Here's the last picture.

IR? Irwin brothers replacement?

IR Replacement stock or a RSG

Either way a stock made by the Irwins,

Best guess is a IR replacement.

Sorry Wayne. It's hot here too. Stage 2 fire alert here in the mountains. No shooting outdoors until we get a little rain. Wifey doesn't like me shooting indoors so I guess I'll be spending more time here on the forum.

Charles, more clues. The recoil plate is unmarked. It has an early Winchester butt plate but it's not a Winchester stock. There are also markings in the sling well but that would give it away.
