Can't understand why this stock is bringing so much.
The left rail has been notched out, For a Scope (?).
Maybe buyers can't see it's been cut.

Maybe someone likes the shine or the beat up butt plate. :eek:
It's the beauty of an auction. Look at all the other items that have gone nuts. How come my stuff doesn't do that???
Charlie, I paid alot more for a type IV Win stock (in better condition) so I think this one is not too over inflated for the damage/cut - IF IT REALLY IS A TYPE IV. It also comes with a late handguard. With all the late 7 mill Winnies popping up lately (I counted at least 6 that CMP auctioned off the last year or so) I assume that there is a push to "make them correct". They are pretty hard to find and someone may be getting desproate for a stock to complete a re-build.
While the channel length says that is it a type IV, look at photo #4. The underside about 4 inches forward of the mag cut. It looks like a classic potbelly. Now it may be the way the stock is laying on the sheet, but I WONDER if this is a type V potbelly that has been shaved down to make it look like a Type IV. Of course, my eyes are old and I am half blind and 3/4 crazy...

Just noted that the same individual also has a potbelly up for bids. He also refers to it as a "Type IV"
