What is the dark strip of wood behind the band? Don't think I've ever seen that before.

Normally there is just a plug (sometimes so tight and well-fitted and varnished over as to be nearly invisible) in the lightening channel, with the stock itself running full to the band.

Does yours have a plug as well, or is there a whole new end to the stock?
