Korean return stocks

There were/are 2 types of the 'Potbelly' stocks.
Yours looks to be the early first style.

This picture has a early style on top. M marked slingwell. Flat bottom profile common to this particular maker.
2nd style below, showing a more pronounced bottom profile, a HI stock.

I can't explain the CC stamp on yours.
Wood looks like a light walnut, but birch can fool me at times. Normally a Birch will show a whiter ring around the pistol grip.
Either way it looks like you have a nice set up for range time.
I could be happy just collecting the wood!

Cheers

Charlie:

My wife has been after me about having 18 stock sets and only three rifles. Twelve stock sets have been restored and the other six are in the process. I showed her your pictures and she is speechless. I think she is afraid I'm going there. She wants to know when I'm going to start selling them?

Beautiful work Charlie.

IMHO there are few things on this earth prettier than properly finished wood.
