Combat Stocks question

[samandglove1]

These factory combat stocks came off a 6” Model 48-4 from 1980-1981 (92K serial). I was going to offer them up for sale, but I’m not 100% sure of the wood (and I always try to be as accurate as possible).

I originally assumed they were Goncalo Alves, but then a friend of mine thought they could be Pau Ferro or Morado. I guess it’s also a possibility that they are walnut, but I’m doubtful about that. Any insight is appreciated.

Thanks

Nice grain in those stocks. Here's my set in Morado for reference.

Thanks, that’s super helpful.

The color is not the same, but the grain looks very similar.

They look like Morado to me.

Thank you for the link

Agreed. Definitely Morado.

Isn't Morado and Pau Ferro one and the same?

Yes. I think two different names of the same wood.
