Thanks guys. Well...that's as clear as mud! *lol*
I mean, Baker's 'disclosure' as you've recounted it is almost comical. It amount's to, "We know what you want, and we know what you've paid for, so leave it to us to cobble together a gun befitting your budget based on whatever we have on hand at the time, which may or may not be what you think you are explicitly ordering."
Um...
So, back to my OP. Forgive me for asking for a more difininitve answer (perhaps I'm thick). A grade trumps B grade, when comparing guns from the same production date?
