Ahhh, k. looked like a fluorescent paint. I actually have a stock here, needs some serious prep work though> I purchased it from numrich (along with about 10 others, since modified and pistol gripped) and it is an older style then most. THere is no checkering on it, but the finish on it seems somewhat bubbled/flaked. My intentions were to keep this one and refinish as original (painted with CDN tire krylon though) rather then Pistol gripping it, as I have never seen one like this before, though I am sure they are more common then not. If interested, contact me via PM, but be forewarned, this is not a simple drop in...I would do some finishing before installing. Also have a pistol grip stock (made from Original USGI stock by myself) lying around here somewhere that I have no use for anymore.
