This so happened to make it into my trunk yesterday from a very nice local gentlemen. He originally thought it to me a Springfield 1903 stock set but once in my hands I realized it was in fact a full wood stock set for a p14 with most of the metal. When I got it home it as covered in tons of old grease and dirt so I went over it with the chemical stripper and a very fine scotch bright pad which brings me to this. Now for the coats of linseed oil and lots of waiting. Also is there a way to determine what manufacture of rifle originally sat in this stock?


 
Most of them that I have run into have the wood marked by the manufacturer, generally about a quarter-inch high.

W = Winchester

RI = Remington Ilion, NY

RE = Remington Eddystone, Pennsylvania
 
Yah that is a nice find. I was $300.00 short of an M1 Grand falling into my lap today... It will be a week before my Tax money comes in and could not rob the wife this week.

and like every other year there is not a Kris Vector to be found in this City when I will have money for one. last one I know of here in Edmonton was sold yesterday.

so many cool rifles only so much from in the gun case...
 
Like SMELLIE said, wood may be marked and most of the metal bits will be marked. Off hand it looks like an Eddystone. No finger grooves on the fore end. A rare find these days.
 
Agree with Points....no finger grooves, Eddystone. The stocks were typically marked with an E,R, or W on the very end. Inspect the wood enclosed by the end nose barrrel band and see if marked accordingly.

The Volley Sight plate should also be marked, thus may be an indicator, though obviously not definitive.
