Yours is nice too, the bolt stampings on both look the same. I like walnut too, but I think laminates hold up better apearance wise to hard use.

Walnut is my preference.​

Here's my example with a marbled handguard...​

Thanks! It's definitely a beauty. I barely missed it when it was first listed on here, so when it unexpectedly popped up a few months later, I didn't hesitate. I doubt I'd ever part with it under any circumstance!

I do miss it but I’m glad it found a good home. It came from a collector that was really knowledgeable and who has helped me over the years. Some good memories.
