Where did Baer get his information? I don't know who to believe, Baer or Mr. Chadick. I have looked at both stocks that you refer to on that gun and (assuming they share the same serial number) they are not the same stock. Further (and I will go out on the proverbial limb and say) it is my opinion, however humble it may be, that the stock on the gold inlaid 28ga. A1S also shown on page 85 of the DGJ is a restock, presuming the gun was manufactured prior to the move to Ilion NY because the "nose of the comb" is characteristically "Remington."
