From a bulk purchase of stocks I had a NPM stock that had a hole on each side, located in the same area as yours.
I assumed it might have been from some type of Bi-Pod. I gave it to someone that used Aqua Glass (?). It came out ok.
With your picture magnified I might have imagined seeing a box near your oiler slot......... Thinking it might be whats left of a RIA over EB stamp... But IDK
Any plans to Deep clean the wood?
Any sign of a small ordnance bomb near the recoil plate?
We've seen this little bomb stamp on many RIA/EB stamped stocks.... See 2nd picture.
How long is the barrel channel?
Number of holes under the butt plate?

Any letter or numbers stamped on the inner wood bridge or right inside rail?
Does it have the extra support cut under the recoil plate ledge? (see 1st picture)
