Checkered stocks indicate recent manufacture. Around the early 1990's to present.


Thanks winchester! I have to go look at it again, I got a link that shows how to check the manufacturing date. I think it looks a lot older than a new rifle, that's why I was wondering if it was aftermarket. Maybe I'm not recalling correctly, either. I'll look again. Thanks!


I'm not real up to speed on the really old 39's from the 1930's-50's. Could have been a checkered variation way back then?
