When you say lightweight stock, is it a kimber factory stock, i.e Montana, or some other lightweight stock. It is full Kevlar stock. Barrel is a Douglas #2. With apologies to Corder3825, I am confused. So I will re-ask what borden811 asked. Is the stock on your rifle the factory Kimber stock? My apologies as I'm just not clear. Thanks in advance. Very nice looking rifle by the way. This is a prototype of our new Aeros stock that is hand laid up from Kevlar. We have completely re-developed the way we make our Kevlar stocks and will be offering them in the near future. Thank you for the response, I appreciate it. Your response brings up, at least for me, another question. Who is the "our" and the "we" referred to in your response? Once again, thanks in advance and I'm sorry if it appears as though I'm being a pest; but, I just need to be educated and have no idea who makes "Aeros" stocks. Define "our" and "we". You own Kimber? OutKast Arms. Check us out on Facebook Love to, but Who TF is on Facebook these days?
