A long time ago, in a land far away, (OK. late 70's at the Grand American...)
I saw and got to shoot a Browning high rib trap gun with a very unusual stock and fore end. It was a red, white and blue, laminated, thumb hole, butt stock with an adjustable comb and a spring driven recoil absorber system. The fore end was the wide beavertail style.
At the time, I was told it was made by Royal arms, A couple months later when I started to chase one down, nobody knew who was making them. (I was beginning to think I had a few too many at the roadhouse)
Fast forward thru 35 years of cold trailing, I met a guy, in an airport, that said he had one in the 80's, but had no idea who made it or if they still did.
I did find 2 of the recoil system, new in the box, they even have the Browning logo moulded into the pad. Now, I'm hot to find that stock set for an old Citori I'm bringing back to life.
I've been all over Al Gore's cute little invention, with no luck, so I thought I'd ask here. Does anybody out there remember the stock I'm describing? do you know where one lives? what company made them? who might have one in stock? Or, Oh, I don't know, any other information to show this whole thing wasn't a fig newton of my imagination?
Come on guy's, don't let a fellow geezer down...
Thanks. Paul
