Back when it was Acra-Bond, and Mel Smart owned it, you could get one of the laminated stocks for about 450 out the door if you were a local...
Why??
It wasn't a first rate stock, it was the slabs leftover and glued together. 9 out of 10 of them had putty or expoxy added to hide zits that got sawed out too, if you knew where to look.
Those guys at Kilamanjaro sure did Mel proud. His stocks were butt ugly. If you're ever in the area, stop in and meet Gene Gordner. Gene (the singin' cowboy) is perhaps the single most interesting indevidual on the planet. I hope he writes a book someday.
