also found today
Well , I know what this is and it is a very early ( 1940 ) 1 gal Canadian oil can by General Steel Wares GSW .
Can is in rough shape. Rust. Nice untouched and unpolished brass screw on cap. Worth the buy if only for the cap itself !

Nice 100 year old rifle stocks
Found these two military stocks during my part hunt today. Can't decide if they are Ross rifle or P-14 . The more I think of it , maybe Ross so exactly 100 years old ! I will take a few more picture if someone is interested in identifying this more seriously.
Definitely Ross 1905 or 1910 military rifle stock. NOS. No hardware ever mounted on these .

I think you may be right on the stocks being for the Ross. If I had to guess, perhaps the 1905 Ross. Extremely nice find.
Pretty sure the oiler you show is just the standard brass Enfield oil bottle.

Hi, Rob, thanks for your response .Here are some more views. With the "R" letter and the characteristic butt my guess is same as yours : Brand NOS Ross 1905 stocks ! Tell me what you think. Any idea what the light is ? My Guess for now is it''s a CMP trouble light never having seen one yet . Cheers.

Incredible find on the stocks. Are there more where they came from?
The light is not CMP, at least not one I have ever seen. I have had 2 styles of trouble lights over the years: Rubber handle which was a fairly conventional trouble light but wiuth an adapter to go from a standard 110 light-bulb to the candelabra base of a 6 volt bulb. The other is the wooden handle trouble lights for the CMPs. Both had a plug on the end of the same style as the 6 volt ligh-tbulb base.

Incredible find
I agree , incredible find for the stocks . There is a pile or two left unturned in the hangar. I will keep you posted.
Here is a pick of a marking I found on the lamp upon further investigation. British ! ( Birmingham ) I should of known by the particular shade of OD green. My guess Brit MILSURP truck related imported in this most interesting location.
