The bottom is a sling swivel repair. Not bad either. The pistol grip is a John Q Public repair of a hole with microbed or some sort of equal filler. Sort of stands out like a sore d*ck, don't it?
The second picture is actually of the top of the buttstock. So perhaps they are both, Bubba's?
the stock itself is virtually pristine, with fairly crips stamps. Tight fit and extremely tight lockup. This stock has not seen much use. Nice stock.
Attachment 21130Attachment 21132Military stock repairs are usually indicated by additional markings. this WW2 WRA WB stock has been repaired, note the tall W stamp (also found on the M1903) and the post war P in the box
Sorry I hit some wrong buttons.
If that's the top, it's still not a bad repair. Could be weapon tech. Does it have the W as stated? The other is Barney doing microbed or something. If it's tight then use it. It can never be original again!
Sure looks like the pistol grip has been "shaped" by somebody, it ain't military. Makes me suspect those "crisp" stamps aren't GI, either.Quote:

The stock came from Rob at Packrats, if it's been humped, it fooled him as well.

That looks like walnut to me...what? With a DOD mark.
