The stocks have been lacking lately.
Or maybe even longer than 'lately'. It's sad compared to some of the older pistols at Chez Hoot.
Also sad was a Vaquero which followed me home wearing Eagle buffler horn stocks. The vendor had two of them...sort of a Mutt 'n Jeff 'matched pair', what with one being 7-1/2" and the other a 4-5/8". The stocks on the long tube had more color but the shorter barrel appealed to me more and he allowed me to swap the panels. Neither pair fit particularly well but I'm pretty sure I can fill and redrill the locator holes and get mine to match up much better. I would have thought the aftermarket companies would take more care.
