Thanks. I wondered if it was like the hoarders on the Falfiles and nobody ever gets rid of anything. Some of those guys have 25 parts kits in the closet they "might build some day".. lol

LOL!!  yea, that is what my gun shop kinda looks like !!! I have so much extra stuff in there and ammo , that it has become a bit cluttered !!  Its to the point , that if some one wants to buy a part or something , I need them here to look at the part , I have gotten tired of taking 15 to 20 pictures and then never to hear back !!   So if you were closer to me , You could have come dig through my pile of forstocks and bags of parts !!!! 
What's your location ? Also I am a serious buyer for a decent forestock so if you have one you'd like to part with I promise you I won't waste your time. I'm old school.  Even if it's not something we can make a deal on I would never be so disrespectful as to not respond.  Check my feedback on the Falfiles, AKfiles, gunbroker, Ebay, etc... Same username for 20 years. he!! man, I've been on the Falfiles and AK files for so long I have 3 & 4 digit member numbers and their membership is in the tens of thousands at this point.

The rifle fore end looks to be of India origin. The supply of decent wood for these rifles is drying up so due to the laws of supply and demand, prices are going up. If you want a really nice set of wood, they are still out there, just be prepared to pay stupid expensive prices.

There are a couple of chaps who have the professional equipment (one in UK, one in Canada) for the manufacture of reproduction stocks, which due to the labour involved with relatively low production numbers, are quite expensive too. Keep looking, you will find what you need.

The indent marks and hole that you describe are likely from a grenade launcher sight which mounts onto the barrel band.

Thanks ! The grenade sight makes sense. How do you tell Indian from British and North American manufacture ? Will the Indian stuff fit correctly ? Apologies for all the questions. It's how I avoid costly mistakes. And I can find complete sets and I agree they are pricy. But I don't need a whole set. I have a NOS set of top wood on its way and my buttstock is fine. I'm not looking to do a museum quality restoration. Just undo what some well meaning "Bubba" did in the past. Thanks

Not conclusive but I can see a transverse reinforcing screw just ahead of the mag well. It could also be a Brit or North American fore arm that has been through Indian refurb.Often called an 'Ishy screw' it was standard to fit one either as a repair or preventative measure for the stock cracking forward of the front trigger guard screw. Typical of Rifle Factory Ishapore (RFI), West Bengal.  

Plus the barrel band mounted grenade launcher sight is unique to Indian service.

I replied to your pm. Nothing in my email.  I will keep checking though. I think Yahoo uses Pony Express at times..
