Stock Question

[Doco overboard]

[ATTACH]Attachment 89408[/ATTACH]
This stock has remnants of what appears to be of a rebuild triangle in the grip area. It can only be seen when turned to the light a certain way. The triangle also looks smaller than others I have seen. It's probably hard to see from the picture.
My real question is the finish, other examples I have viewed always have a darker stain applied and are coated in oil. This wood has seen little to no use and all the manufactured edges are sharp, and component fit is tight. Also it is kind of dry compared to most rifles that have been gone over but the wood coloring is still wet like its laying on the grain.
Is this stock some sort of rebuild "second" or aftermarket fake? The finish applied has an orange hue to it when it can be seen in person.
Thanks for any replies.

It looks like a Birch replacement stock. They were available everywhere a few decades ago and I got a complete new set out of Numrich...brand new. Birch looks orange when done...

Thank you for the information. This one came from a pair of hra CMP rifles my Dr. purchased some years ago never used and then wanted to move along.
I bought the two of them but was unsure about the pictured stock because it had a drastic appearance from the other.
Thanks Again.

The guns would make sense, they would have been using some of that Birch by that time...

Orange hue eh? Chestnut Ridge Military stock stain fits that discrimination. Spirit based, good stuff.

Spirit based

The way to go...

If you read your GCA Journal you would know that this is characteristic of Letterkenny rebuilds. Editor Mike Bernazzani wrote up the complete story in the Winter 2014 issue.
