Generally speaking I would say yes, as well as the fluting being cut at more of an acute angle.
In addition, I realize wide combs and trap combs could be specified from Meriden, but can one assume that the standard comb coming from Remington is a little wider than the standard comb width of the Meriden guns?
With that acute angle style of fluting the nose is usually wider but not always. I have seen a number of Remington combs that are narrower while still having the acutely angled fluting. |
It is really hard to generalize the Remington style of stocks and all of their various nuances, as it is impossible to generalize Meriden stock nuances of styling.
