My mistake, Dean. Here are pictures of the barrel flats both left and right. On the left flat there is a very small but distinct numeral "8" stamped in the upper left in addition to Walter King's proof mark to the right. I'm not familiar with the repair codes so don't know if it's meaningful but ready to learn.

Hi Jim - the 8 is in the location where Remington repair codes would normally appear.

So, that presents a puzzle..... If Remington replaced the stock, why wouldn't they have stamped it with a repair code...? An 8 is not a Remington code that we know of.

I'm not arguing that the stock is made by Remington - it looks like a Remington stock and Brian confirms it... but the puzzle remains.

Thanks, Dean! She's a cute shooter now so I won't add this mystery to my "meaning of life" list. Appreciate your reply.
