The rifle fore end looks to be of India origin. The supply of decent wood for these rifles is drying up so due to the laws of supply and demand, prices are going up. If you want a really nice set of wood, they are still out there, just be prepared to pay stupid expensive prices.
There are a couple of chaps who have the professional equipment (one in UK, one in Canada) for the manufacture of reproduction stocks, which due to the labour involved with relatively low production numbers, are quite expensive too. Keep looking, you will find what you need.
The indent marks and hole that you describe are likely from a grenade launcher sight which mounts onto the barrel band. |

Not conclusive but I can see a transverse reinforcing screw just ahead of the mag well. It could also be a Brit or North American fore arm that has been through Indian refurb.Often called an 'Ishy screw' it was standard to fit one either as a repair or preventative measure for the stock cracking forward of the front trigger guard screw. Typical of Rifle Factory Ishapore (RFI), West Bengal.
Plus the barrel band mounted grenade launcher sight is unique to Indian service.

I sent him some photos of forestocks to choose from, I was looking on the ones that I have and could not find any marks to indicate who they were made by ..... am I just that blind or not looking hard enough ??? Im having to email him the photos since I cant get into my photo bucket any more since I started using this tablet !!
