A question was raised in a private messsge about the stock by a person with a good eye.
Factors
1. The wood grain is higher than most C's.
2. The cheek checkering is not standard to a C.
3. The cheek checkering is inset with a bevel as Parkers usually are.
4. The trigger guard tang channel has the gun SN , no R for replacement. The SN and tang had been undisturbed for many years, perhaps almost 100 when I got it. I don't think the tang had been out of the channel and had to go slowly and carefully with a razor blade.
5. The TG channel has the number 3 by the SN.
6. The straight grip stock and dimensions letter to the gun.
From this I conclude that the stock was made up and checkered and intended for a D , then it was noticed how nice the wood grain was, so the stock was mounted to this C and the side panels checkered to give it an extra touch. When I got the gun it looked like it had not been touched or used for many years and I know it had sat with the previous owner for at least 20 years.
