During these rebuilds stocks were often sanded and re-oiled using Raw Linseed Oil. Often the Hi-wood on both Type I, I cut oiler slots and Type II Oval oiler slots which tended to crack were cut down/forward to resemble the later Low-wood stocks.
While at RIA the actions could have been upgraded to rear Adj sights, Bayonet bands installed, rotary safeties, bolts. They were also used to repair the crack on the forward edge of your hand guard. The threaded and glued Brass pins were a approved method by Ordnance to repair cracks and to strengthen known weak areas like on top of the Hi-wood rail, thru the side and in to the wood bridge forward of the trigger housing, around the recoil plate and bottom recoil plate nut (Escutcheon). The RIA OVER EB boxed stamp is a post WWII rebuild stamp applied by Rock Island Armory with Elmer Burke being the Inspector there at the time. But Rock Ola was known to make all their own stocks and supplied stocks to others like Quality Hardware- these marked just RMC early then later marked QRMC. We have some of these transfers on record but not all. Often when these 1st style stocks were used some were transferred to other makers as a lateral support thing to keep production moving. look for a underline below the CC that signifies the bottom edge of the stamp. The stock is not original to your NPM action, Your Type I Hi-wood I cut stock had a Rock-Ola action in it when it was accepted by Ordnance, thus the Boxed RMC over the Crossed Cannons stamp, BTW that was a 1 piece stamp.
Your Hand guard with PEDERSEN (Pedersen Bros) in script was made for Underwood.
