Many model 1899 carbines were altered by civilian owners to satisfy personal tastes.
I suspect those two plugged holes on Mike's stock could be the remains of where a wood or metal pistol-grip was anchored. A surplus metal grip for the model 1873 Springfield use to be readily available. One of these could have been screwed to Mike's stock and repositioned for a better 'feel'. Such a device could have made depressions in the wood similar to those on the stock in question. |
