identification of this stock.

[Muncher 1953]

The stock looks like an oberndorf , wa135 stock....based on the "scallop" at the forward end of the bolt handle cut out.....one mans opinion

I respectfully disagree, the bolt cut out looks nothing like a typical MO cut out. Note the multiple vertical milling marks, normally on an MO stock there is one clear & distinct milling line just to the right of center towards the front. My personal opinion is that an MO cut out looks this way because it was cut in 2 operations, in order to reduce grain breakout on the shoulders of the cut.
