Cool and thanks! By initial oval does that mean where the sling mount was originally and they moved it? Please forgive my ignorance if there is supposed to be something else there that should be obvious. I'm pretty new to these guns but learned a lot reading some previous threads which had links to serial #s list etc and that's how I figured out the age. Looks to me that it wasn't shot much but probably moved around over the years thus the little dings in the stock (guessing). Cheers!
