Of course, I think so, too -- I just really wanted to draw him out and see how he would 'splain these issues! Seems like a lot of his nice looking, beautifully marked stocks have never even had a gun in them! -- no barrel band indentations, no shiny spots where the recoil plate and receiver were seated, no shiny spots where the oiler contacted the stock, etc. Then there's the bogus boogers in the sling well (which would conveniently hide the mfr mark, if any were really ever there), and the stain slopped in the slingwell. Wouldn't surprise me if this weren't a Boyd's or Fajen or other new aftermarket stock, all dressed up!
