I paid slightly less for mine, but the original stock was cracked at the tang and had to be replaced. The seller gave me a very nice scant stock and that is what the rifle is wearing now.
I did save the original stock just in case....
Eventually I will try to hunt down a replacement "correct" stock for it.
Mine is an all Remington in the 4064XXX serial number range with a 9-43 two groove barrel.
Here is a pic.

How do you like that scant stock?

Mine is straight, and that's what I really wanted. I like those, but haven't handle a scant stock either.

First time I handled a Savage 110 (really have been a handgun guy most of my life), I change my mind about pistol grips. That said, most of my rifles in the past did have the usual pistol grip. (Traditional pistol grip, not M16icon style.)
