It is from a rifle I got many years ago and as you can see "Bubba" cut it down to "sporterize" it. I found an untouched stock and restored the rifle back to its original configuration. So this has been in my stock pile along with othesr in same condition. Lets see, I have mausers, P17 Eddystone, M14 stocks to mention a few. I work alot of gun shows for my real job, and making pens from stocks may be my niche. Gun shows also are a good place to troll for deals on broken or cut stocks. I have seen old military guns with beautiful wood....
