I don't see a picture with the crack, but hairline cracks from the recoil plate are common. If you plan to shoot the rifle, there should be a hair gap between the recoil plate tang in the back from the wood. If you post up a picture it would help assess.

OH Crap... Thought I had included the Picture of the "Hairline Crack" I get a Black Eye for that one.
Anyway here it is... Again, I'm sorry that I left it out of the other pictures. Was just in a hurry to get them posted, I simply didn't relize I had left it out.. Very respectively, Da1Chief |

Looks like a repair already done with two brass pins and possibly glue. Probably good to go.

Thank You Sir, I want to fill up the small holes there but not sure what to use, but that is a low priority for now.

If you plan to shoot it, I might relieve a tiny bit of wood at the rear of the recoil plate. I use a dowel with fine sandpaper wrapped around it. It only needs to be a hair gap and if you're careful it will not get the wood out of shape or be noticeable. I only do this on shooters, not collector grade stocks which I do not shoot, after learning my lesson the hard way.

FWIW; The barrel appears to have a long skirt, flat muzzle crown
and is undated. Would expect to have a T-1 narrow band and be mated to an IBM
or IBM/A0 marked receiver that lands in the mid 12-43 to early 1-44 production
timeframe. This
IBM/AO serial number would be expected to show up in the 11-43 production
timeframe. Not gospel for AO marked receivers however. IBM
barrel dates track closely with their assembly timeframe. A company that was
all about the numbers. The stock
is great and would be expected/correct for that receiver. Take a
look at this one, not too far from yours; try to ignore Bubba's handy work. The
link in the first post should take you to the photo album. Warning; I like
taking pictures of my IBM's. http://www.uscarbinecal30.com/forum/topic5012.html 1. The Barrel Does in fact have a Long Skirt, I assume that the Long Skirt without a date is common and not an issue that I should be worried about. 2. Thank
You for setting my mind at rest about the type 2 Band markings being askew. 3. I
agree the Type 2 band is out of place according to the timeframe of the serial
number, I may look at replacing it with a type 1 that has the proper KVB
marking on the swivel. However, to find a "Real One" is insanely
expensive. 4. Yes, I looked at you pictures. Very Nice Weapons. Helps me study them and know what to look for in the future (Thank You). Yes, I agree you like taking pictures of your IBMs. (Big Smile) Very respectively, Da1Chief |

Can you tell us how you can easily tell this one is a repro? Is it the lack of machining marks ?

Milling is one characteristic to look at, there are many more. The best thing is to look at known good examples and pick out all the details that arent consistent. With this one there are multiple. |

Once you've seen several originals, you won't have any problem spotting repros.
