Just a heads up on some of these Boat paddle/skeleton stocked guns at auction. a lot of these guns were made in the full Zytel stocked models.

Stocks are easily changed...so if it matters to you that it is factory original. The only way to know for sure is if it has the box with S/N and model number, or a factory letter stating the S/N and model number.

The stainless BP/Skeleton stocked models are in the 780-XXXXX - 788-XXXXX range and the Full Zytel stocked models are in the 787-XXXXX - 792-XXXXX range. There is a bit of overlap in the S/Ns, but if you see a BP stainless in the 791-XXXXX serial number range I would be more than sceptical.

Here is my .308 Hawkeye SN 710-82856 with a BP stock, hardly original. It was shipped in 2009 with Full Zytel stock.
