What would it mean if my stock didn't have arsenal rebuild stamps on it?

[Bruce McAskill]

Type 1 stocks have an I cut slot for the oiler and high wood stock. Type 2 stocks have what's called an oval oiler slot and has high wood stock. The type 3 is the same as a type 2, but has low wood cut stock. Type 1 and 2 stocks were converted into type 3 stocks by cutting the high wood from beside the slide on the stock. Your stock is one of these.

I'm lost now. Because it's been said that type II and type III both have oval oiler hole. Mine doesn't "appear" to have been changed to low wood by looking at it. Meaning I don't see any marks that would indicate such. Although if they sanded it well, you might not see it. Maybe that's why you're saying it's an altered type II. Lack of any markings means they might've sanded it? That would make sense now. Because when I look at where the recess is for the "low wood" portion, it looks like it goes fluidly the whole way down back to the receiver. I guess I could put a pic up to show. But the sanding part would make sense. Lack of crossed cannons and what not.
