Underwood I cut stock

[painter777]

It seems to have been a little slow here on the forum lately. So I went out to the garage to find something of interest to post.

I came up with this stock. Underwood I cut. To bad it has been modified to low wood.

Now an interesting item I think is pretty cool. Something I have only seen a few times is the marking in the slingwell is, Marlin.

But here's a Question for you? No, not a test, fun stuff. On the bottom of the forgrip are three holes. Inside the barrel channel area are three counter cuts. Can you tell me what they were for? Sorry, no prise for knowing. But I think interesting. Hope this isn't too easy and at least makes you think for a few minutes.

Don't know what I am going to do with it, no projects for it. Oh well, back to the garage and into a box.

Jim

Hey Jim,
Dug this out today. Cold and gloomy here today so I've been looking over older posts.
When looking at this picture of your stock...

Is that a Dutched In Patch at the rear of the barrel channel?
Maybe they punched out the hole while drilling for the band spring, thus the repair.
Seen this area repaired often with small plugs, but this is the largest I've seen.
It's an old post, but brought it up before I lose it.

Cheers,

Geeze Charlie, that was a couple of months ago. Tomorrow I'll go find it again and take some close up shots for you.

I really don't have a need for it, that's why it has been sitting around. Maybe I'll put it up for sale on the board. Now to figure out a price.

Charlie,

Dug it back out for better pictures. It appears the band retaining spring might have been a bit too close, and they made a repair. Also noticed some ledges from different depth cuts in the I slot. Here they are.
