Tanoose, What a place that H&R is, to know it is to love it!!! I just called and ordered a Mannlicher stock (I think!) they took the order only because I said you had just ordered one, the number this CS person has was S0330, and the price of $26.30!!! But it showed none in stock and that none had been ordered in a couple of years!!! Anyway I was asked how much and I said $30.00 so the order was put through (at $30.00). If they have one I get it, if not I don't. I was told perhaps "Jennifer" knows about them and that if there is anything of anything left in the stock room that "Jennifer" was the one that would know...Also some nice talk about how busy they were and how much there sales had increased, they must be doing something right.
About my smooth walnut stocks on my brand new TDC...I was told it was simply a matter of how that run of guns was ordered and they could be special ordered in batches of 50 or more by a distributor with special features, like smooth or checkered stocks. Everyone there has a different story but they all seem to try to help as much as they can. It would be nice if all companies tried to be as helpful!!!....<><.... :grin:
