Gotcha! I found those forearm pics and another buttstock tang pic of your carbine in other threads ("What Wood Is This?" and others).

I found a rather alarming condition when I removed my stock iron from my carbine stock. It was last removed/replaced when I finished BOL'ing my buttstock [see Gonzo Carbine thread]. I had occasion today to remove all buttstock/forearm furniture and found that my clean through-bolts had rusted, inside the buttstock...

The rusted areas don't show up well in the pic...

Mulling over ways to protect them when the wood comes back...Maybe grease, oil, wax even???

The buttplate screws were still blued, no rust...Just the attaching iron through-bolts...A mystery, I guess...
