Hi Doug:
I couild be wrong just looking at pictures but it seems that one of the cardinal rules of stockmaking was broken here. It's always been my understanding that you could go for all the feathergraining,etc. you desired thru the butt area but the locking and frame area had to be straight grained to prevent what we're seeing here from happening. Is this a factory stock?
