Even with walnut, rifle stocks have various weights. A stock cut from a much older tree will weigh more than a stock cut from a tree that is "just big enough". The US 1917 stock is so long, and contains so mich wood, that 1 pound or more variation is not that unusual. The same is generally true (to a slightly lesser degree)with the Garand, and even the Kar98k especially "hardwood' verses "laminate" stocks.
weight will vary, depending on type of sling, and length of stock,,,,remember,,,they made 3 lengths of stocks for the 1917..and birch , walnut and other hard woods.
when you carry them for a day in the field,,,they weigh 300 pounds by the end of the day....
They still weigh less than a bullet in the guts.
I would think oil soaked would add a little, not that much though, Dense wood?
"..A stock cut from a much older tree will weigh more than a stock cut from a tree that is "just big enough". .."
thats not what happened - the military spec could not be met by lumber cut from a tree without sufficient heartwood to get that stock from the center cuts , in wwII maybe , but not in wwI ,
i think you will find there was a milspec weight even in those days and all three mfgrs met them
