That's exactly where my Claro wood, no drop points, striped 16 C came from. It ended up with Galazan, who sold it for way too much on the basis it was a 16 C. The owner tried to sell it, the gun stagnated, and I acquired it in a trade for a nice 16 Model 21 that I had for many years. I'll have money in the gun, but far less than comparable market 16 C's and the gun will be correct . I'll just have spent a long time at it and a lot of effort putting it together.

A good place to see several varieties of California grown wood is the seller "quaking aspens" on ebay. They have a couple of other links to more stock blanks on their ebay site also.Very good wood.

Almost forgot. Check out "Roger Vardy Rifles and Stock wood" he's in Australia and cuts some fantastic wood and shows great pictures on his website. Good wood is where you find it I guess.Just 'Google" the name and it should show up.
