Rutland made the pretty multi colored ones but they certainly werent the originator or only maker of laminate stocks.
I still have and use a gun having a heavy bench stock from the old Bishop gun stock company.
1/16 laminates of maple and walnut which was about all you could get then. Fajen ultimatly bought Bishop
and both seem to have dissapeared. Richards has also been making stocks for a very long time. The last inletted stock
i got from them was about 5 years ago and the word (crude) dosent quite describe it. I think they used a dull chain saw
on the duplicating.
