As to the OP's request for a definition, I recall from high school that a poet described it as a Greek chamber pot. I didn't get a very good grade in that course.

Your thoughts would be appreciated.







I think it is a statement in understated "beauty in simplicity." I've never seen a Parker Repro with as simple a stock as that one. I like it a lot and think it should be fitted to a 28 ga., with 28-inch barrels choked Q1 and Q2 with double triggers, twin ivories, and a splinter forend.

IMHO it's a plain looking stock and I like nice wood and that one wouldn't appeal to me but hey that's just me. A few examples are CHE 20, AAHE 28 upgrade, DH16, Fox XE 16 and a custom Ruger #1 7mm-08. I like rifles to

I think I see faces in the birdseye of that stock.

I prefer wood like on C.O.B.'s guns but the buttstock shown above is more typical of most original DHs.
