Thank you for that information. I believe you are correct as that butt stock has an aluminum butt plate as the Indian rifles do.
Bummer on the No.IV rifle stocks as I only have two of them one being an arsenal new Savage the other a commercial sporter from Europe.
I have a dozen or so other #1MKIII rifles including an Austrian Gendarmerie that Bubba made into a sporter and did a right messy conversion.
I intend to restore it to it's military condition with a stock from one of the parts rifles shown.
Thanks again for the info.
