What is the horseshoe area? So is this an HRA stock?

here is some info i pulled off a garand info site:

HRA used three different stock cartouches. First the ordnance wheel, then a 3/8 inch DAS and finally the 1/2 DAS. Most HRA stocks have a large horseshoe, a fat grip bottom and unique comb. It is being discovered that late production rifles might have used the serif P in a circle. I wouldn't change the stock if I receive a really nice late rifle and it has what looks like a HRA stock with a serifed P firing proof.

HRA stocks with the 3/8 inch DAS usually don't have the large horseshoe area found on the later 1/2 inch DAS HRA stocks. There have been some 3/8" DAS HRA stocks from the greek returns with the large horseshoe area. They do have both the san serifed P in a circle and the serif P. The san serifed is more common.

my CMP HRA stock also has a serifed P in circle. lots of good info on this site too:

Nope, not single. I'm married with children. But what is a Dav?
It looks to be a serif circle p...

My grandparents used to call their couch a davenport.

Winner! Winner! Chicken-Dinner!

That's what we call the Antique Sofas, the ones just for looking at.


As for the stock, a Serif "P" stamp and what looks to be not much of a back porch, puts it in the SA camp.
