Ha!! I was hoping some of you would enjoy these posts since it's your passion mostly. I have been posting from shotgun to rifle. I thought when the ends on the butt stocks that curve inward are usually rifle stocks and straight ends were shotgun. This one does have a curve inwards.
Not necessarily. The deep cressent style stocks are almost always rifles, but they are also older, more historic designs, and dont generally attach the same way the stocks you've posted so far do (least the ones I've seen).
Modern rifles and shotguns generally either have a flat recoil pad, or a very slightly curved pad/butt plate.
Two piece stock sets are almost always shotgun. So stock mounts to the receivers butt end and pump handle/forend are separate.
Single piece stocks are usually rifle, tho there are some bolt action shotguns that use one piece stocks. Those stocks are solid from butt to tip of forend, and the action and barrel sit inside/on top of them.
From what I've seen most of what you've got are modern pump action shotgun stocks. Tho as has been noted in other threads, the remingtons do sometimes fit on rifles.
H&Rs, NEFs, and a few others have break action rifles and shotguns built on the same frames, so those interchange.
And yeah, I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who has fun with these posts.
