Looks like Eugene Stoner designed the stock geometry.

This is pure speculation on my part, but the buttstock reminds me of a repair job a friend told me about on a more modern gun. The rifle in question had been sitting in a barn with the butt on a dirt floor for decades. Of course the last couple of inches of the stock had rotted away. My friend cut off the rotted bit and tagged on a block of replacement wood. It looks as if that is what happened here.

Dear Canute Rex. This may well be the case but there are other curious things that makes me think it's not 17c this said I could be miles out it is old but mid Victorian is old too .No one,s asking my opinion so Ile gracefully withdraw from the matter. Your view makes good sense & the gun confirms it re the rotted original butt damage .
