I'd prefer to keep it a $5-600 gun instead of taking the value down to to a $300 gun.
If you get a stock from them that actually is a Remington stock, you may not be lowering the value a ton, but I'd rather have the original stock so I could have the gun be "original" if it was me.
It's just like with cars. A 1969 Camaro is worth a lot more if it's original and numbers matching than if it's the same car with some motor from a random year Camaro thrown in. Even though the other motor might have more power, or be newer, it still lowers the value.
It isnt a Aftermarket stock, apparently you did not go to that site and look at them, those are Remington stocks, made by Remington, the same stocks that come on the Remington Model 7 CDL. By the way, I wasnt aware that a Remington stock had numbers on it, identifing it as an original. Maybe you can tell me where I can find the numbers on my remington stocks so I will know if mine are originals or not. LOL!
