This is a 'scant' stock that has no cartouche or any stampings at all on it. It has a rectangle instead of half circle cut for the cutoff and there is no cut for the bolt handle. I am hoping someone will recognize the rectangle relief for the cuttoff. Thanks.

It looks like you got a stock made by "Rosie the stock maker" on her first day at the plant during WW2. Either that or an odd knock off.

There is no cut for the bolt handle. Does it have a cut for the A3 handguard ring??? If not, and I bet it doesn't, I am betting SA. C'mon JB and clear this up.
PD
Looks like a faint S. I've seen some Scant stocks that look like they were carved with a kid's first jacknife (by the kid!). :D
Could it be a Post-War replacement stock?Quote:

Yes I stand corrected.
Amarican Billiard and Bowling Ball stock.
Must have been the lowest bidder as shown in the workmanship.

A little research and a little reading tells me this is a REPLACEMENT STOCK. It has a buttplate, upper band retainer and a lower sling swivel on it so it must have been on a gun at one time. The metal parts that are still on it are blue and not parked.... Sounds like someone's project?
ALL Scant stocks were "replacement stocks" (except for some used as originals on M1903A4s). :D
