M1903 USMC Sniper stock Leather Shim at Rear of Reciever - Continued
In stonger light, I can certainly see that this could be an Armorer/NM Rifle type modification.
The stock itself, and the handguard, appear to be a matched set, with S or 9 (or both) markings in evidence.
Note that it has no rebuild or proof cartouches, only the Drawing number on the butt, and the "S 9" in the cutoff cutout. The number inside the hand guard is also indistinct, but could be an S or 9.
Both the inletting in the stock and the leather D shaped "shim" measure around .100, as best I can tell with simple dial calipers.
It did not let me upload all pictures. I'll see what I can do to get the rest up. CC
