cty100,
Thanks. I sent you an email. Unfortunately most people aren't even aware that Mossberg makes the short action models available with a real walnut stock. I know the wal-mart as well as the gun shops around here usually only carry the black synthetic or camo synthetic versions . It's msrp is only $9 more than the camo.I ordered mine at wal-mart it took about 3 months to get it.
