Here's a photo of a brand new original HS Gen 1 Rem 700 stock I'm holding for a build. Note the colors. There is no doubt about the stock being Gen 1 HS
all of these are HS stocks. In 5E67 left to right a 2004ish 338 RUM sendero new I had Dave Tooley tweak and teflon. 2nd from left is a SA HS stock, 3rd is an original Police 700 that came in 308 and is now a 300 SAUM. Note the wide fore end, two sling mount holes and palm swell. 4th is a Christensen Carbon One that came on 300RUM. ITs now a 28" Proof barreled 300 PRC I actually finished 20 minutes ago.
I bought every one originally from Rem or Chris so I know for certain what and when they are.
There were some variations in color but....
The gun in this thread has a Gen 1 HS stock. That does mean its not what the seller claims. Remember, Rem was in Bankruptcy for years and without naming names, they used up a lot of old NOS inventory during that time. They also put guns together for large dealer/buyers that were Frankenstein builds and not generally available to the public. I suspect this gun is one of those and probably legit despite the obvious discrepancies.
PS: I cerakoted the two in camo
