That is because yours is either a P14 or M17, double locking bolt head, one piece stock.

the " metal strap" you see in the pics og the no.4 is actually the rear action housing , where the butt stock bolts up and the trigger group and magazine frame is attached to.
My father cut this off on his, and bedded the magazine frame and trigger right into a one pice stock, it's a fine shooter....
