Thanks for the history lesson. I don't recall ever seeing or hearing about anything like this until now, so I also missed the thread with this type of grip package. When I saw the phrase "with built-in grip adapter" on the first all-model circular several months ago, I figured it was just a marketer's way of saying that the all-wooden target stocks both filled in the space behind the trigger guard and thickened a set of stocks -- in short, incorporated the functions of the old prewar grip adapter in a completely wooden product.

Now I see why that would be the wrong interpretation.
