Shouldn't the Factory Letter have specified Extra Plain wood ? My Grades 1, 1 1/2, and 2 all have much better wood and combs with much more definition. I'd guess that the stock is newer than the rest of the gun.

I suspect you are right, that stock didn't come out of the factory at Hartford. My Grade 1 has nicer wood and the letter a previous owner got does list the "flat matte rib."
