Did Remington ever stock the model 510 rifles with mahogany?
I have a customer insistent that early 510 stocks were mahogany.
I've never seen one, but I'm not the expert on them.
Thanks - Al

  I agree, but is this fact or an opinion like mine?
  I need to know for sure.

  Fact checked it, in the "History of Remington Firearms" by Roy Marcot. No mention of Mahogany, being used for 510 stocks.

  They were all walnut, but the finish Remington used, turned a red color like mahogany over time. There is usually some very nicely grained walnut hidden underneath the Rem finish too.

  Some people mix up walnut and mahogany (and even spruce).
