I think this stock has enough similarities that this forum can put a maker to it. Dan: Would you check that item number, please? A search of it doesn't generate a result. Thanks.

I think it looks pretty good and should come in handy when I get to the range. It's a .80" thick Pachmayr Decelerator pad. Steve NJ State Trooper #3936 (retired 4-1-1991) NRA LE Firearms Instructor

According to my Fisher muzzle gauge, the muzzle diameter stands at .3010. Not bad for an 89-year-old rifle barrel! Steve NJ State Trooper #3936 (retired 4-1-1991) NRA LE Firearms Instructor

Its trigger is definitely not in standard configuration. The average trigger pull weight is 3 lbs 3 ozs with no creep and a crisp break. In a word, this rifle's trigger is exceptional!
