Thanks Ned, those 'out-board' images are quite annoying to go to.

The stock of '148Infantrys' rifle is obviously a restored model 1892/1896 with (spliced on) forearm.

I have attached a copy of his stock barrel-channel photo, with arrows pointing out the splice, as well as, the model 1892 'metal fitting' that the original clearing-rod would have screwed into.

(IIRC - The stock forearm of a model 1892, even with the 1896 updates, should not have had 'lightening-cuts' in the barrel channel).
