1917 walnut only??

[m-g Willy]

I got a Remington 1917 enfield and the wood sure doesn't look like any kind of walnut I ever seen.
Was other woods used on the 1917 other than walnut?

thanks for any info.

Willy - I know they used Birch and Maple in place of Walnut on some other stocks but I'm not sure about the M17.  Couple of suggestions:  one of our sponsors is a stock maker and might know what woods were used on the M17, and Remington might have that information in their historical files.  HTH.  Mikey.
