While researching RSG stocks I've ran into several discussions that RSG is not Rock-Ola but Robert W. Irwin.  Do I need to correct Table 4-2 on Page 110 of my Riesch book and include RSG with the Irwin list? 

Any others I need to make note of?

Thanks

Yes, RSG is the Robert Irwin co. Who made stocks for Saginaw and Grand Rapids factories of SG

Reisch has several mistakes and do not hold fast to the serial ranges listed.

Got side tracked on the SG stock discussion and failed to say Thanks, so better late than never...
Thanks for the feedback.  I have made a note in my book.

Reisch is very good and its my go-to-book, but I have corrections everywhere.

It's the only carbine book I have and after reading, reviewing, Googlein', and asking questions regarding carbines I have a better appreciation of what he has put together.  I'm sure when he published his book that was the latest info at the time.  This was my first "update" and I expect to make more based on these discussions and new findings being disclosed on the web site.

He is on his 7th edition, and for like $22 you can't go wrong.
