I recently scored a WW2 vet bring back in a sporterized stock. I can tell the stock is a laminated stock but since its been cut down I can not tell if it's a cupped or flat sine even the butt of the stock has been cut down. Which stock type would be the correct stock type because I've seen pictures of 1940 337 K98icon with all types of stock

Also since I'm just getting into K98 restoration which books should I look at purchasing?
