Wood Grips vs. Plastic Grips - When

[bill m]

Hi Marvin,

This is a nice story, but I have my doubts about it. A flat tire would not hold up production, nor would one wrecked truck, for the q, r, s, and t blocks, which would be 40 thousand guns. Data collected does not support this at all. My understanding is that there were more than one manufacture of wood and black plastic grips. Why do you find byf's with 2 matching magazines in the q,r,s,and t blocks with wood grips, but none with black plastic grips? I still think that from the data collected, that all grips were wood before the U block, and during the U block, both are correct. I guess you can use your own judgement on this, but Weiss's explanation just doesn't make that much sense to me. I could accept that something like this happened and a few were interspersed, but they would have to have serial numbered magazines. Also, I do not know the production numbers per day or month, but if this happened, why would one truck load by spread out over 40 thousand guns? I could accept that a few took place all in one letter block, if this was the case, but not over 3 or 4 or 5 months.
