You guys are correct, I did make that stock.
My customer wanted something different and he chose an African Exotic called Sapele. I just happened to have a few pieces in a stunning quilted figure that he liked. Looks like John sent it in for a re-barrel and some CeraKote. When it left me in 2010, it was stainless with a un-fluted barrel.
Personally, I like the look of it better in black. As with most of these exotic pieces, the black metal seems to draw your eye to the furniture.
Found a few pics in my files of what it looked like in 2010 when I shipped it out.
