Aloha Chickenfried:
Have you noticed that US Armory will post both sides on the stocks that are more premium or have more potential? I have bought many stocks to refinish from them... This is a new crop of stocks... in fact, I think I bought #126 (with a GREEN tag) on the last go around... hahaha, that's pretty funny. :lol:
Anyway, I would vote for #126! It appears to have more defined stripes but only on one side... but that is normal... I have several stocks with excellent stripes on one side but flame or figure on the other... the others have potential... but you might get more stripes out of #126.
Good Luck! And have fun!!! This will be very interesting...
Aloha and Best Wishes,
