my uncle got one in the late 60's , we were hunting and this guy pulls up with a car trunk full of them , this had to be before 68 . that was the only time i saw him but was told he made the rounds every so often , like the other peddlers did back then ! his stock split and the last time i saw it it had elec. tape around the wrist , that was at the sale after his death !
wooden stocks are aval. and better looking IMHO !
