No thoughts?
It looks like a T-12 forearm with an M-12 butt sleeve. I am really wondering if this appeared in any catalog.
Doc, it looks like you have the mother of all Mali hybrids.
First, the joint looks more like T-13, with steel and dashed rings on the outside of the collars. T-12 joint was white plastic of some kind, with a solid ring. T-14 had the same dashed rings, but standard was a white plastic joint.
The points look like T-14, looks like ebony.
The buttsleeve looks like M-12, different series as you know. However, on that series, the dash rings inside the joint collars were centered, not closer to the edges of the collars.
Given that your buttplate does not have the Mali logo, a couple possibilities. One, it was a custom order to Mali to combine a few things the customer wanted. Two, it could have been a significant repair job that would have changed some original parts, but quite a few. Maybe something more definitive will surface.
By the way, how do you know it's a Mali?
All the best,
