Anyone notice the number of what to me seem to be ersatz or repro Supergrade stocks showing up on eBay lately. The seller "cleverly" calls them "custom stocks" though they bear a very close resemblance to original Supergrade stocks. Are they being reproduced somewhere? Seems to be too many to be genuine originals, though I know Winchester sold off lots of pre '64 parts in the '70's and there were guys that "rat holed" the stuff.

It might give a clue as to source. There definitely are items being made today, as I personally toured such a place once upon a time.
