For some reason, I finally looked at some of my short throat stocks and compared them to 2 long throats.

Yep, there ARE medium throat stocks, like Rick Bicon has mentioned in the past.
I, apparently have three.

One has the scooped clip latch, without any channel number.
The other two have channel digits, but it appears that the clip latch recesses have been hogged out, to flatter and deeper and may have been scooped.

I am assuming that the medium channel stocks preceed the short channel stocks?
That is a leap, I realize, but I am sure that the answer is out there..........
Thanks for any info.
