You can always stamp "REPRODUCTION" in the barrel channel then everyone from now 'til kingdom come will know it's not the real deal.

Thats a good idea.
I thought that if there were no "P" stamped in the grip and that it does say boyds in the channel. Anybody would tell easy that its a reproduction .

I think the idea of putting a un-removable marking in the barrel channel is a good idea.
Maybe something like " reproduction cartouche 4/14/09"

If you put a real cartouche using a real cartouche stamp on a Boyd's stock, then it is the stock that is fake, not the cartouche.

People are more concerned about the cartouches than the stocks. I never hear anything about fake stocks. It seems the priorities are reversed from what they should be.

Real stocks are getting rare. That is why Boyds does so much business.
