Another K31. Is it walnut?

[KneverKnew]

Got this at auction. Bid weeks ago and forgot about it.
What kind of wood does it have? Walnut?

[Patton12]

It certainly looks like Walnut to me.

[Singer B]

Yep,that is the walnut. Doesn't look too chewed up by the buttplate. Good pick up!

[Aragorn243]

That is Walnut which means the rifle should be 1943 or earlier. Stock should be dated under the butt plate I think which you want to check for a tag anyway.

[KneverKnew]

I will check for a tag but I’m starting to think stock won’t match. SN is 227*** which dates it to 1954 if my googlejitsu is effective. Oh well.

[KneverKnew]

Here is my other walnut that matches gun. All numbers match. 179***. Dates 1944 unless I’m wrong. Please correct if necessary.
Not best picture ever. Wood looks very good as does rest of rifle.

[Aragorn243]

It's possible they found a few walnut stocks around and used them up as a replacement stock. See if the numbers match inside.

[KneverKnew]

Will do when it arrives. They should ship after the holiday.

[Pierre]

Is there a number stamped on the tang?

[KneverKnew]

Pictures don’t show the tang. Mag matches number on bolt. Only numbers I see.
