I've got two 24s in 12 gauge and though both say M&F they are really IC&F which is the perfect combination. What I can't understand is why they did not at least put a rough checkering on the wood as all of the others did with even their lower grades, i.e. Stevens, Fox Sterlingworth, Parker Trojan, Ithaca Nitro Special, etc. It could not have added too much to the cost that it would not have been competitive especially with the Winchester name.
