I can only make a guess from the photos. Photos are not all that good for identifying wood. But my guess is beech, and since I am guessing I will specify American beech.

if somebody said Sycamore, they got it correct...
Looks just like the Sycamore stocks Remington put on their 788's

Maple, hard and fancy...or Sycamore..
If the mill is local why not call them and ask.

Can't tell by looking at it in its present condition.
Sycamore is nice wood, called Lace wood when used to line dresser drawers.
We had a truly huge sycamore behind the house when I was a youngster. When it died it rotted out real fast. The trunk stood for a long time. It was hollow and big enough to have built a one room Keebler elf house out of.
My little brother and I used to shoot the sycamore balls with his Crosman M1 carbine airgun. That was one deadly accurate BB gun.
That is quartersawn sycamore, I believe. Any purple discoloration could come from things like nails or spalting. I have some absolutely stunning quartersawn spalted sycamore in the garage and these pictures look similar.
At one with the gun.

"Joined Dates" are deceiving if you factor-in "lurk" dates.
Any wood from over seas should have a stamp on it. Every piece marked. All our skids and crates, boxs from over seas have a heavy ink stamp.

could be anything.....but for my guess the lighter wood is birdseye maple.
Its sycamore.
I was a dog on a short chain.
Now there's no chain.

My guess would be black walnut, top- hard Maple middle, can't see bottom well enough to guess.
At work we get 55 gals drums of motor oil on pallets that looks like the same wood. The pallets are white and red oak.
