Water or water based products will destroy a collector stock period!
Boiling water will make sure that the CC will swell to oblivion. Even after sanding the raised grain eventually the CC may raise above the stock. The only thing that should touch a collector stock is Raw Linseed Oil. If the rack number bothers you I would see if RLO would emulsify it and some light rubbing with something like blue Jean scraps on paint only. Start with least impact and work your way up. However there may be a noticeable difference in finish due to blocking the UV rays. |

there are some products you can use to remove the rack numbers if you want, but most if not all can and will effect the finish. If you want to completely strip the stock down in boiling water with TSP, clean it real well with a plastic bristled brush, thoroughally dry it and apply new coats of Linseed or Tung and to seal it, then in the process of cleaning it there are several options, bix paint stripper being a good one. The place i've seen this activity most often is police departments, but there's no way to tell.

Does anyone have any idea where this carbine was when it got this stenciled rack number applied ? I don't mind it and actually think I like it. Sometimes I think wrong and ask do collectors frown on these numbers ? The fact that it's there leads me to think it was never sanded along with how the cartouche stands up. Thanks

Thank you very much.. I just didn't look hard enough. Before I dump them
I first have to get them into a program and get them below the 999
pixels wide or preferred 720. I'm going to try imgur first but another
thing I learned from you is "With 3rd party hosting sites the pictures
usually disappear. Imgur deletes after 6 months of no views." Another light comes on I've used forums to learn tons over the yrs but never knew why the pics were gone on so many.

What you are seeing is the upload manager.
From any page upper left click "member control panel" Then just under you will see file tabs. Click on last one "file manager" There you will see a very similar page. From there you can select and delete photos you uploaded. The boxes to right set parameters which i suggest you do not use. From same page you can also upload new puctures. Later when making a post you can choose to add those photos rather then uploading again |

I don't know what this is.. I've never seen it before on any form to enter pics but I'm at a dead end if I can't empty it. |

How do I empty this (RTE_popup_adv_image.asp)so I can start over? There doesn't seem to be a reset button or delete. I even tried to post new "My Recent Inland part 2" to start over and do it right but the filled page followed me and it's a dead end. I need to empty this. I think. Not sure at this point Seems I also have to have to have a program to downsize the pics before they're entered here..I'm spoiled because all the other forums I'm on must do the downsize automatic on the way in or something. I'm not sure and never gave it a thought. Thank you all for your patience. |

I uploaded the rest of the pictures to the op’s library and updated the links so all of them would show but it looks like some of them are no longer visible. I can fix them if the op would like me to. If that is ok with the op, please let the mods know. Would also like to help the op figure out how to upload photos and resolve any issues. Like was previously stated it is a learning process but it is great since we can post photos directly into posts.

Our forum software may have a slight learning curve but it is free. Since we roll the cost over to our members (free) it is what we have to work with. Our benefactors however have been covering the bandwidth fees. This is why pictures must be less than 999 pixels wide, which 720 is more than adequate in most cases. Pictures are important to the discussion. When a picture disappears it may make the thread irrelavent. With 3rd party hosting sites the pictures usually disappear. Imgur deletes after 6 months of no views. A simple request to mods and the pictures were inserted. Please consider this when posting pictures. |

It looks like you created that second link on imgur and posted all the pics at once. Sorry I'm so thick but I can't find on the site how to do that. When I go to enter them the way I did above this is the page thats full and won't let me enter more.. http://www.uscarbinecal30.com/forum/RTE_popup_adv_image.asp

you can use a free image site like IMGUR (do NOT use photobucket). And make an album then just post the link here, like this one below.

Maybe one of the moderators can help with the pictures. I don't see that box pop up.
BTW, nice Inland. One place you can find nice Inland stocks is whatacountry.com. Their blemished stocks are usually easily repairable. |

I'd love to but I can't get get them off the download page.. I wanted to post all the markings. The IBM stock looks like it had some finish added but the cartouche doesn't look sanded flat at all.. It still has roundness to the cannons and deep impressions.. It's just behind the pistol grip, more forward than all others I've seen.. I think I'm going to sell this stock when I find one to match with IO on it and think the gun will be all correct then but I wanted y'all to check it over.. Thanks

Paint is a PC image editing program that resides in the Accessory folder on the various versions Microsoft Windows. I believe there is a Mac version of this too. You can use it to adjust the size of large images to allow downloading to the forum. You can also use it to add text, graphics, crop, rotate, etc.
Where are you seeing the box "Image Properties"? |

Good looking Inland, zenfly. Would like to see some close ups of the stock cartouche once you get your picture sizing figured out.
