Faded

Faded out from being hung on a wall in direct sunlight for a few years???

Heartwood and sapwood?

why ask if it is possibly a special edition if you're already calling it that in the FS ad

i think this sounds like the most likely explanation.

Heartwood and sapwood?

That would be my guess as well.

Buddy, that "Special Edition" is faded wood. Look at the flute on the comb!

Special Edition ADL model Wasn't that the cheap econo one?

I'd say faded, or just a poopoo stain job. If it was two kinds of wood, there'd be a seam.

It's been sun-phucked. That's it.

Yes, Been touched by the sun on one side for a while. That is the third stock I have seen with that appearance. All were sun bleached on one side. A plain old ADL, nothing special about it. Regards, Eagleye.

I've seen other Remmys like that, one was a 722 in 257 Roberts I had a few years back.....just a poor piece of wood, nothing special. The ADL's like yours generally had a lower grade of wood than BDL's.

when you shoot it wear different color socks, kinda like a theme.

....I'm picturing a guy wearing one brown sock and one beige sock...and then telling everyone he has another pair just like them at home....

I have seen two Mohawk 600's with the same two colour stock wood. Maybe the Dupont finish was a sucker for sunlight.

It is the finish that is faded and distorting the colour. Walnut will not bleach in the sun, it will get darker and richer looking, just as maple will take on a more "honey" colour from UV.
