Do you think this stock is......stock.

[David Borrowman]

I posted some pics on the introductory page of this GH 20 ga that I've had for several years, but just started shooting. After looking at many other pics of GH's I wondered if it was possible to rub off that much checkering. The stock is pretty loose, and the metal/wood fit is not great. The addition of the Browning butt pad also made me wonder. What do you all think?






Note the gap between the metal and wood.



DOH!






I see some orange flecks on the wood. Could there have been one of those orange butt pads originally?


The splinter is pretty worn too, whith just a touch of checkering remaining.
