    Unless the stock is a reproduction, it appears to be a Keystone from WWII. Is there a "K" stamp in the recess for the cutoff?

    No not a k stamp in recess

    OK, I was taking it apart to check mechanicals, clean and look for hidden marks. Here is a few pictures of what I found as no id marks on out side of stock. The little greasy oil and crud I found in the magazine well and on parts is old oil and smells like it has been there many years. Brought back memories from working on equipment in the 50s and early 60s. The main rifle is very void of markings and stampings. I could be missing a few but Will keep watching for anything as I know sometimes these things escape the untrained eye.
