Last of the bunch showing stock detail. Sorry about picture overload, but it should eliminate most questions and hopefully provide clues.
The area to the upper rear of the mag box appears to be a fresher cut, note the pencil line. Also the cut out for the side mount is evident.
Horn tip I am guessing?
That should do it, if anyone needs any other pictures let me know LOL.
I don't like the shiny wood finish, I would like to see it in oil, what would be best here? Also the area on the butt, needs more cleaning, but I was afraid of chipping the wood. I read a statement of MP's about being nervous with the butt plate off and I sure was.
I hope I haven't overloaded everyone with photos and would appreciate any input, advice, identification or just general information. The only area I haven't looked yet is under the trigger guard, but there are no marks on the stock or metal other that the ones you see. So what say you, trash, treasure or just a usable Newton?
