Welcome to the forum From NC!

Does it have grain like this? This is walnut from a 57 model. Walnut will have some deep grain in it sorta like oak. Birch will have a tighter grained look.

Tks not that dark and looks like it's birch and tks for the help

That one is oil finished. the birch stocks I've seen are lighter finished.

This is a Black Walnut stock I'm working on to refinish and replace the bull's eye.

Does it have the Marlin "Bullseye" in the stock? That's an indicator that it has a Walnut stock.

If there is no "Bullseye", then it is likely Birch or maybe Beech.
