Early gas trap ferrule...is the stock correct

[crowtalks]

I have a stock that was on a Feb 41 receiver that has the early gas trap style ferrule. I don't think the stock is correct to the weapon, but I was wondering if the ferrule could be correct to the stock.

There appears to be a 5 digit number on the right side near the butt (it looks like 35099), a different four digit number in the concave barrel bed section and an odd symbol on the left front section of the stock. Pics included.

milled ferrule is too early for Feb 1941

stock is not Springfield

I had already figured out it was too early for 1941.

What about it makes it not Springfield? (just interested in learning)

Looks like a typical Harvester date: the 245th day of 1954
