I suppose that is a thought, however the stock is identical to that shown in the (2006) catalog page 24 for the 93R17 BTVS (stainless)except that the laminates are totally different color. It has the three vent holes and two forward sling swivel studs. Note the BTVSS just beneath on page 24, mine has layers of this black and grey mixed with the red and brown. I think it is pretty but when my wife seen it she went gaaaaaah. Well, you know how they are.
