There is a serial number along the bottom of the butt stock that is the same as the serial number on the rifle. Does this mean that this is the original stock, or was the number stamped at some point on a replacement stock to match? I was told that it was uncommon for these old rifles to be in their original stocks.
The Danes did the serial numbering on the stocks. It does not necessarily mean your rifle is wearing its original wood -- check if for USGI cartouches, though even that does not necessarily guarantee it's original, as far as I understand it.
