A couple of people have asked for a close up picture of the receiver.

Case colors sure seem like the way to go.
Have you shot it yet?

I like it! Already changed mine to colors.
Dick, does the photo accurately show a narrow, irregular darker band of finish where the stock head meets the frame?

I have not shot it yet.
I have been breaking in my 1972 Browning Superposed Pigeon Super Light Weight 12 gauge that I recently acquired in unfired condition. It's not unfired anymore. With Skt/Skt chokes, it has made a dandy dove gun. My son has a field grade 1968 Super Light Weight that I got him and we both enjoy these guns. They each weigh 6# 8oz.
The band is there on the wood, whether finish or wood or whatever, I really can't tell. To tell the truth, it wasn't until I saw the picture that I realized it was there.-Dick

Looks like lacquer overrun from the case color.
If that's what it is(and not some photo aberation),that's sloppy work.

I'm one of those asking for a close up. Thank you so much for supplying one! Very nice, btw!
As for the case color laquer - wouldn't (perhaps "shouldn't") that be applied before the stock and receiver are assembled? Though I must agree, that seems very likely to be the culprit...

Nice looking gun but I can't believe that they would let it out of the shop with lacquer overrun like that. Gotta be something else. Gotta be.
I've quit having actions lacquered. I think the colors need to be worn down a bit - at least that's my taste and the lacquering makes most coloring look too bright.
The fitting of the stock to the receiver is remincent of the old 1885 Winchester. That is a notoriously hard stock to fit and also not the strongest for heavy recoiling rifles. Any chance that these guns come with a through-bolt as standard or optional equipment?

I notethat they gave you the reduced coverage on the balls of the action. They fixed mine but it would be tough on a case colored action.

They are through-bolt stocks.
