Pretty much a moot point since I bought it to hunt with but still curious (also curious as always what wood the sight window is, lol) if "the gang" could tell me if this has a possibility of being factory paint?
Assumed at first that it is not, but did notice the coin/emblem is not painted nor shows any masking efforts and attempting to REMOVE a small test section it exhibits very good resistance to doing so, unlike some paint I've removed.
I also noticed the paint was obviously applied BEFORE the strike plate was attached, or at least it was removed first before painted, which didn't seem likely.
A little worse for wear all around but a 64 inch, 48lb 59K. Grip actually feels pretty good as is, surprisingly, regardless of edge and color issues. Quiver screw/bolt comes right out, another surprise considering condition.
I'll need to pick up a strike plate and rug since the originals are gone but she shoots pretty nice!
No surprise there.
As said, isn't much of an issue either way as a shooter, but some of the photos of same in another thread here have been deleted and I simply cannot tell.
God Bless
