I have never heard or seen an explanation of the differences.

If you scroll down the left side of

www.gun-parts.com/savagestocks

to the Stevens stocks you'll see some of the different versions and a little advice on matching them to a gun. That's just about all I've ever run across.

T in circle is date code... A is 1949 no O or Q
It is around a '67 but no coffee yet...

The date code is a letter and number in an oval on the bottom of the receiver right behind the hinge. As stated earlier the letter is the code. There are minor differences between A and H. The forearm attachment is different for one thing. I don't know if barrels will interchange from A-H. I have an A made in 57.

Date code.
