Hello all. What type of stock is this? I haven't seen one of these except on drill rifles. Would this be safe to shoot?

1903A3 Springfield Desert Sand synthetic stock - $49.95 : The Old Western Scrounger LLC.

This dealer sells them, just read the reviews, they aren't great. Apparently they are old drill rifle stocks that have been painted. Are they safe to shoot? Opinions differ, I wouldn't use them.

Thanks. I learned something new again!

Are you sure this isn't a Drill Rifle? I do mean sure!

How can I tell?

[Rick the Librarian]

The most common way is look for weld marks around the cutoff and where the receiver meets the barrel (receiver side).

It's clean in those area's. No signs of welds or grind marks.
