Well it seems that our experiences have been different and that really proves the point that a piece of wood that might work for your gun might not nesiscarily work for mine. Here's a pic of my 1930 star model NID that still wears the original stock and the wood fits into the receiver on it.


And in this pic you'll see that the original forearm lengths are different between my 1927 and 1930 NIDs

I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree.
