Thanks for sharing this Gene. I always thought it likely that my rifle had after market checkering, cheekpiece reshaped and forearm slimmed. Now I'm thinking it may be factory work. My rifle is matching numbers on the buttstock and plastic buttplate.
I included it in the new book because it has a case hardened receiver, high grade wood and the optional plastic buttplate. I also said the checkering and reshaping of the cheekpiece and forearm were probably done after market. It is definitely too late to add any more pics (of your rifle) but I may be able to reword the text to incorporate this new info before the book is printed.
Here are some photos of my rifle.
