[QUOTE="coolhandluke, post: 2635253, member: 13284"] Agreed...it's 99% likely a Carcano stock. Darren was right all along with his gut feeling that it was Italian. It looks like the area where the safety notch would have been located has been planed down, only leaving a small area of wood behind the bolt handle recess. The lower magazine well area has also been relieved to expose the trigger and give it the Berthier'ish style potbelly. +1 on the tang date. I wouldn't mind knowing the species of wood on that stock too. Are there the typical beech scales in the grain? I can't tell if it's just a nice dark stained piece of beech or elm, or if it's walnut. I know little about the Carcano's but I'm thinking very few were issued with walnut furniture. [/QUOTE]
