Hello, I recently came into possession of a Smith Corona M1903A3 barrel and receiver after my grandfather's passing. He also had what I assumed to be an M1903A3 stock, however upon trying to place it into the stock, it does not seem to snugly fit. After doing a little research, the semi pistol grip was used in the type 12 and type 15 stocks, and so is it possible that this is an early type 12 stock that only fits M1903s? Am I perhaps simply placing it in wrong? The stock has no visible cartouches, and appears to be in remarkable condition, making me wonder if it is a reproduction my grandfather got or if it was sanded or something. Thanks for any assistance.
