Built in May 1972 using the KW dating. 15 is the assembler. 9 in the inspector. Rest of the marks are proof markings and such. Seems like a production run 700

Hi, What do you mean by production run? Here are a couple pictures.

The stock is custom or aftermarket. The metal looks to be factory standard. Remington custom shop guns usually have no assembly barrel markings.

Thanks for that, Would the stock add to value or decrease the value

Honestly I would have to say values would be on par. Depends on what someone wants. It looks fancier than the original but others would balk at the same. Personally, I would rather the factory stock but would hate to see it cut for a recoil pad, so someone won by getting an unmolested stock.
