Carbine Buttstock Iron Q's

Ah, I see the problem, you blindsided me with a couple of ringers...you slipped in two quite rare examples that are marked differently than later examples. The two you show are the early "one screw" irons and the push button stock is only slightly more common than chicken molars. The later 1902 and 1920 carbines and the LP08 stocks are of the "two screw" variety and are marked like I said. Also, I may not be understanding your orientations...for the two stocks your show you note that the numbers are "left to right"...to me they are top-to-bottom (lengthwise). When I said "left to right" I meant "across" like Eric's #31.
