The cheek checkering looks of factory quality, but it is not in line with the norm for the grade. The lack of proper borders on the wrist checkering suggests a low quality recut, or maybe a later remington stock replacement as the style of border present was only used on very late remington made guns.
Brian for the sake of Education on my part which photo can you tell that the gun doesnt have the proper forend lug for the beavertail forend?
