http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewIt ... =196685091 i ask the seller if this gun is factory checkered and he he replied "I just spoke to a historian at Remington and the checkering on the rifle is factory". is he telling the truth

thanks

Hey upjohnson,

The guy may be telling the truth as he understands it but I have my doubts as to it being factory checkered. It does not match the patterns of the traditional Remington factory checkering. I have never seen a checkered stock with the "round" pattern that is on the stock. Everything that I have and have seen is always a "pointed pattern with a double perimeter grove. There is always a chance that it could be, but I have serious reservations based on the experts. I am sure you will get another opinion on this subject.

Someplace on this forum, 81police has provided pictures of the authentic checkering. If I can locate them, I'll send another reply. If I can't find them, send me your email address to jack1653@att.net and I'll be happy to forward you some pictures of the real thing.

Regards,

I am a far cry from being an expert but I don't buy that checkering as factory done ... not for a second.

I'm in agreement, that's a NO on factory checkering.
