I recently saw a similar pair on another site.
Thank you. Some of my correspondence on this topic was located on a laptop that had a bad deluge experience, and I couldn't remember everybody's name. I agree that the groove profile and checking field boundaries look very similar when you compare the stocks on my gun and Chow's.

Do we know if Blackford was one of the LAPD grip makers, or did he just use their basic concepts without the benefit of regular interaction with them?

And even though this is off to the side of the main stock discussion here, if anyone can tell me anything about that semi-adjustable rib sight that was added to my Colt, I'd very much appreciate it.
