I have a weakness
 

I have a weakness for laminated stocks.
I came across this one still in the wrapper from when it was sent out by MML. I had to buy it. I think it complements my little mk-85 with the carbine barrel.

I share your weakness Flounder, and that's a beauty.

I don't have an MK-85, but might have bought that stock if I came across it and then would have had to start looking for a barrel to put on it.

yep, sweet little set up. The stock looks great

The guy I bought it from is a gunsmith who use to have a shop in Indiana. He said he ordered this stock for a customer years ago and they never picked it up.

That looks like my forest green stock that came with my mk85, still looks great after many years of hard hunting.

Very nice looking stock...Ray

very nice looking.. Its always nice to have something to play with.

I share your addiction. My wife does too, apparently, since I recently had to get rid of a 700 LSS that would not shoot worth a flip. She said it was too pretty to sell. I still have my 700 Mountain LSS in 30-06 that's a dandy, though.

Flounder that is funny. I had a gunsmith rip me off on a MK-85 stock about 10 years ago. :) And I am not making that up. It really happened. He got me for $500. Tom.

Tom, I really don't think it was the same guy. Different city and a different name of the shop than what you messaged me. Actually way on the other side of the state. This guy seemed like a straight shooter to me. A real gentleman. Another thing I am wondering is how can a person get ripped off for $500 on a stock. They never sold for anything near that.
