Does anybody have a carbine outfitted with a USGI Black Cherry Stock (Other than presentation Carbines)? How about any pics or seen one in real life? Thanks Michael

I think only Jamestown Lounge was the only stock maker to use cherry. The issue with figuring out if a stock is cherry is that it tends to darken with age which makes it hard to tell from walnut.
 
I have seen at least one cherry stock that was easy enough to tell it was not birch or walnut.
