First off, I don't mind the banter between members in response to my questions. Actually I find it amusing, until the subject gets locked by the administrator. That just means I have to start over again with a new post. No big deal. The stock is one piece. The safety is not the rocker type. I believe it is the rotating type. One of you showed me an example of a gun which had the exact safety as mine...right down to the SUR written on one side of it...just can't seem to locate the pic. Robert, and anyone else who cares to give their two cents: any info you have would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
