Rick, the buttstock checkering is slightly different than early 30’s R checkering (the line across the top behind the safety, for example). Compared it to one I have. Stock might be leftover, but I think it was finished and checkered with the gun. The buttstock also matches the ads and catalog pictures for the R/RS in 45-47, which still showed 3pt checkering. Or as you say, like K checkering. Though forearm obviously doesn’t match.
Recoil pad is a “NO - SLIP BUTT PLATE” made by “FRAY - MERSHON INC.” of L.A. Caliif. The white line spacer in it makes me think a 60’s/70’s replacement, probably same time as the d&t.
