The butt serial # would have been removed and restamped, a typical give-away. Plus the grip # matches the gun.

And unless someone did a lot of welding, the stocks wouldn't need to be pulled to tell if it was a sq butt modified to rd butt because there would be a huge hole in the bottom of the back strap.
