Bought it off gun broker Ad said laminated stock painted black at factory. Can't get a reply from gunbroker or seller,winnschool. Lots of the trappers were advertised painted laminate. After I left feed back for winnschool most of later ads did not coment on stock. there are different configgerations of trappers but all were the same when i bought this one.I saw your other post, sooo, the black stocks are not synthetic? I’m asking because I’m in the market for a stainless trapper
