Back in the 1980s, Remington cataloged some 700s with synthetic stocks, this was before synthetic stocks became the norm, and called them the 700AS and 700RS. As I understand the "AS" suffix indicated that the rifle came with an "Arylon" stock and the "RS" suffix indicted that the rifle came with a "Rynite" stock. IIRC, the "Arylon/AS" stocks were made by B&C and the "Rynite/RS" stocks were made by Six Enterprises, (not Six Industries).
Is that correct?

Jeff,
I have always been told that the
"FS" stock was fiberglass and made by Brown Precision.
The
"AS" or Arylon stock was made by Six Enterprises. (Basically the same as what we know today as "tupperware".
And the
"RS" or Ryanite stock was made by Butler Creek.
I've had both and physically that seems to be correct. The RS stock had a good "feel" to it, but seemed awfully heavy... HTH...
