Yes the wood is ROUGH it could be cleaned and refinished to a beautiful original glory or it could be slopped with babypoop paint....your choice! It is DIRTY, I didn't see any cracks, IF it has any they are small and covered with grim....., there is dings dents and small gouges, NO its NOT perfect, BUT very usble as is, refinished OR BABY POOP PAINTED!!
I did not and will not clean it! IF I do I will keep it and have it refinished by MASTER BLUE MONSTER!!
The BUTT PLATE that came on this is the one that goes with it! It is IZZY....:rolleyes: yes Izzy, it does have a CRACK on either side just above the rear screw...sorry but it is what it is and that is what you get! You will also get the front Ferrule which is in very good condition and has BP paint on it! Sling swivel also has some paint marks!

Wow that is cool. It's not a belgian made walnut stock but an honest to gosh South African/Rhodesian made from badabinga (:biggrin: or whatever it's called) wood. Don't see those often and it's very desireable, to me anyway.

[Exit308]

Badabinga is an Italian wood from Brooklyn, then there is Bubinga, but the grain looks like Beech with a lot of African grime to me. Should clean up to be pretty unique.

Yeah, I know that guy. ;)

It's actually made from an african species of wood called Mopane. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mopane

[Exit308]

Yeah, I was just going along with your humor. What I didn't know was that it was Mopane. Thanks for that info.

[LaConservationist]

DAMN and NOW I know more about it than ever and :confused:NO BIDS.......am I too far out of the park? I know its not PREMO as it sets but I thought I was being pretty fair since it is such a rare piece......Well I am leaving it as is.....IF it doesn't go by Midnight Friday night it will be making a trip to MASTER BLUE MONSTER ;)

THANKS for all the info on the stock guys!!!

[jimmbob]

I know its not PREMO

It's a Rhodie, authentic to the core! Why would someone want one that's in perfect shape:? If it's perfect, it either ain't Rhodie or don't look Rhodie.:beer:

[HighRatMaster]

Yeah, I was just going along with your humor. What I didn't know was that it was Mopane. Thanks for that info.

What I meant was: Yeah, I know that Italian guy in Brooklyn named bubinga. :biggrin: Sometimes it's hard to make the joke roll on the internet. :rofl:

It looks primo to me, but what do I know, I'm just some peckerhead that lives in the hills with too many guns.

Hey I am NOT saying that is the wood the stock is made from as I do NOT have a clue BUT if this is a true statement, YOU are right! That is some very nice wood! And if someone really took the time and refinished this stock it would be BEAUTIFUL!!!
