A picture of your gun is worth 1,000 words. A crappy picture is only worth 100.
Only person I can think of is Deans Gun Restoration. But, he works with walnut and if requested will stamp his stocks with "DGR".
I seem to remember Italian made C stocks made of birch or some other similar hardwood stained to resemble walnut back in the 1990's. As I recall, Numrich...and/or maybe Sarco....sold them. They weren't bad looking stocks, but weren't exact duplicates of original WW2 stocks, and took some fitting to make them work, and some people did a little further finishing and restyling on the outside to get them to closer resemble U.S. G.I. stocks. I think some of these were made in 2 parts, and had the forend piece joined to the back half right where the rear band went, so the band would cover the joint.
Pictures??
I had what looked like a birch handguard mounted on a Remington M1903 I bought in the late 1960s. I'll have to see if I can find a picture of it. I sold it to John Beard over 10 years ago - maybe he still has it and can comment.

I bought an Italian C stock from Sarco for my CMP Greek 1903 in 2008. It is walnut, came stained and is the best fitting aftermarket stock I've ever bought. The action was a tight fit but required no wood removal. It also provided the correct fore end. It is one piece and came with a handguard. There is no DR stamped inside, in fact, there are no marks at all.
Maybe it was mine.
Here's the picture of that handguard - it dated at least to the 1960s and probably before that. Unfortunately, the only picture I have.

I've started sanding down the top and wrist. It looks more like poplar. I post some pics later for my adventures of stock inletting.
