[QUOTE="Perplexed, post: 2256641, member: 7157"] Is the P sans serif or serifed? If the former and there's a DOD cartouche, it's HRA (or perhaps IHC!). If the latter, it's SA. You measure the size of the cartouche by including the border. If it's sans serif, look in the barrel channel of the stock for an alphanumeric code stamped in there. If there's one, *ding ding ding* you have a valuable IHC stock. You can also look at the size of the "back porch" (the shelf of the stock on the rear of the receiver area, behind the heel) - HRA back porches typically are significantly larger than SA and IHC back porches. You might need to compare them side by side to see the difference, though. [/QUOTE]
