Hello GrandView,

Yes, typically if Leonard made the entire stock from scratch, he would stamp it in the barrel channel. If someone else made the stock, (or it was a factory stock) that he only checkered, then he stamped it under the butt plate.

In this case, I didn't know for sure it was a reshaped factory stock until after I removed the action.

Here is that Winchester 69-A

You never pay too much for something, you only buy it too early.
