Going by the pictures it looks as though the stocks,especially the butt stock, are replacements, at the very least “refinished”. However , nowhere did I read the seller describing them as original to the gun or original finish. Just My take on it,and I’m not good at interpriting pictures.

The wood to metal fit isn’t very good, looks like to me. Replacement wood I’d bet. Still a beauty.

My money says non original wood. The wood finish is TOO perfect compared to the wear on the receiver. Someplace there HAD to be a bump or scratch put in the wood. The butt plate fit is terrible.

Beautiful wood, 32 SPL to boot! Another grail gun.

Maybe just the angle between the camera and gun, but to me, the profile photos of the butt plate show an extreme amount of negative pitch. I find it hard to believe that would be factory done. There would be quite a bit of upward muzzle flip from the recoil of each shot.

Yes, much better. I got a new computer and need to update to a better editing program.

I just used the Photos App on my Mac. There are certainly MUCH more capable editing software out there.
