I think you are right. I spent a bit of time looking at the stock and the action of the Kragicon and I'm guessing that the designer decided that the back of the receiver and magazine was good enough for use as a recoil lug. If that's the case then it explains the damage at the tang since the inletting is so bad. I have to wonder though, with the floor of the stock being so thin, the distance between screws that connect the trigger guard to the receiver, and no support at the front of the receiver if just those to screw, adding pillars and bedding is enough. The muzzle jump has to be stressing the stock, or at least I would think it would.

Oh, and at a closer look, I think you were right, because of the cut-out on the left side this may have been a Herter Springfield stock made to fit the Krag.
