no marks on the stock....

[Alkali]

Chunga - The most likely scenario is that the original stock was simply replaced with a nicer looking one at some time after it entered into civilian service. The original stock would have had an FJA cartouche on the left side, a P in a circle on the wrist, as well as several subinspector/assembly marks in front of the triggerguard. Hard to believe now, but 40 years ago, both pistol grip and straight 03A3 replacement stocks were readily and cheaply available by the pallet load. A brand new "C" stock was purchased at a yard sale for $5 !! No shame in what you have as none of the replacement stocks had markings unless a government facility did the replacement.

P.S. Due to my unfamiliarity with this forum I didn't realize I had to scroll down to see the replys already made in response. Subject was well and thoroughly covered before my entry. Good on ya!
