Faux is faux? Even when they do the faux trot in dancing with the stars. I prefer myself better the German word- for a substitute- ersatz- BUT--one thing I have always kept in mind- when someone asks my opinion on a welding job- I am super critical for the work I do- in controlled conditions- TIG on the bench or clean fab steel in the shop for trailers, etc- But 90% of the welding I find myself doing nowadays is for the many farmers who allow me to hunt and shoot on their lands- To a farmer- time is money- and you have to allow for other less than perfect conditions- and the main critieria for them- will it hold up out in the field?
So there may well be an element of practicality afoot here, as well as both cost and also the time the gun is away- lotsa subjective factors- could we perhaps see fotos of the stock in its present state??
