That's a good point, Joe. I wouldn't be surprised if all the beautiful marble-grain was just fake processing.

What American company did such a thing with their rifles back in the 90's? I can't remeber the process, whether "sprayed on" or "glued on" but the beautiful grain in their stocks was complete fabrication. And they were completely upfront about it, too, they weren't trying to fool anybody.

Damn! I can't remeber the company or the actual process.
