Hi.I bet it is a one piece stock as well...Instead of the 3 piece unit?...If it is and you pop out the action and look at the stock in the area behind the trigger cut out, It should have stamped thereabouts "SILE".
The MK1's came both with a 3 piece stock and normal (on these) slotted stud / nut / bung grip fixing, but
BSA contracted out
stocks on both some firearms and the
Airsporter at least in their air rifle range to SILE of Brescia, an Italian stock making company.
I don't know if this was because of the demand at the time,, ie. if
BSA could not glue enough pieces of wood together fast enough
, but the one piece
stocks I have encountered over the years on MK1's all have the "MK2" style fixing, ie. large domed slotted screw and no bung in the smaller grip drilling, plus as you say, no heat impressed

The one piece ones I have encountered seem to be fitted more to GA or GB prefix guns, most G prefix seem to be three piece "normal" ones...I emphasise this is only what I have personally encountered, hopefully an
Airsporter expert will be along to possibly clarify if possible when and why
BSA used the Italian ones.
The one piece
stocks normally last much better IMHO, less bits to go wrong!
