Thanks Don, if I could figure out how to give you a thank you officially I would.
Just spent an hour trying to figure out what the stock lug attachment was, found a few pictures of guns with it on but not that many.
And you are correct in your belief that the alteration was done overseas. The gun hasn't moved more than 25 feet since it returned from Europe in 1945. I find the history fascinating and will read into it further, your book seems like a good starting point.
As far as it's value diminishing due to the missing lug, nothing I can do about that, but I'll defend the gun's history (not altered here due to US regulations) till my end.
