You are probably right.I know for a fact that they were selling those off years ago too.About 18 years ago I bought one of 8 pairs of factory rejected N frame target stocks that was sold to my LGS from a former factory employee..Each pair had exceptional density and grain like I have never seen before.I picked up the one pair I believed I could work with having limited wood skills.Many hrs of sanding and reshaping was needed to make them usable.
