Hello Rule303,

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, if I had my way, all the rifles would have stocks like the 505 Gibbs. That one's my favorite. And the next favorite is the Mews, and then the Buhmiller. The A&M rates right up there with the Gibbs for stock design, but went too far with the carving.

But, to each their own. I can appreciate the original owners wanting something different "back in the day". Those people felt that their "custom" rifles, must have an "extra-ordinary" custom look.

I think they accomplished that.
