So this DAS stamped stock is on a rack grade from a year and a half ago. It has the epoxy bedding as well as 4787 written in ink in the barrel channel.
I assume the numbers are a partial serial, is this indicative of a Springfield Armory NM prepped stock? The rifle itself is a typical mix of parts. Rifle serial does not match numbers on stock.  Attached File Attached File Attached Filek  Attached File |

The color of the bedding looks to be right for Springfield Armory work, though the bedding on the top does not appear to be Springfield quality work and may have been touched up along the line.
Is there any bedding at the rear of the trigger group sits just in front of the grip? |

Yes there is a small amount of epoxy at the rear contact part of the trigger assembly. It is difficult to see in the photo but on either side of the slot cut there is epoxy.

With the bedding in the trigger guard rear as well, this compares well to what would have been on a TII National Match Garand.
Is the rifle a Greek return from the CMP by any chance? |

Greek return, not sure. The rifle itself is a 2.5M Springfield. With the pitting on the receiver I assumed it was a Philippine return.
I have not done a FOIA on the rifle. The stock has tons of small dings up and down it, I'm guessing thats why its on a rack grade. |

I know some former NM rifles came back from Greece in mostly standard service rifle configuration with random NM stocks and other parts sprinkled around on non-NM rifles which is why I asked.
Also possible the CMP put that stock on off the top of the pile to replace a broken stock on a rifle NOT returned from Greece. You just never know. |

I suspect a lot of their stocks were trashed. Heat warpage, wood eaten by bugs even. |
