Thanks for the response. I have read that this was a common "Field Replacement" Stock after the war. I assume this was done by arsenal but not sure what Field replacement means. If stocks were replaced while in service, is it common that they did not then mark the stock with a cartouche??? I feel that the stock is not original to the gun but I am trying to make an educated guess on if the stock replacement was done by an arsenal. The stock is old and shows use but is in very good shape. Thanks for any comments.
