And to add to what Pappy is passing along, I really like the stock. I have the blue steel version that has a laminate stock with a thick painted finish. The stock is well sealed, the paint is durable and seems tough, has a bit of texture to grip, the inletting is precise, the barrel free floats, I took the adjustable comb off and the stock fits me perfectly for field use.

Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.
