Looks like the tag says Essential Arms. I'm betting its a EA stock.

the angled cross hatch pattern on the buttstock is not essential arms.  i had some of these before.  i think they were early sendra ones.  not the best finishes, a lot of them had forging flaws which is why the buttstock pattern isn't too clear.  i had mine powdercoated a shiny black and they looked ok.  for $20, it's a fair price.

looks like the old Colts stocks
different size/style latch lock, a flash in the middle of the latch on the bottom, Colt is more “rounded” in places (Colt On Right, Essential Arms on the Left)

The waffle pattern in Colt's aluminum stocks does not run at an angle.

Predator,

For $20.00, no more. Your gunsmith thinks he has "gold," fool's gold that is.

if you want it....  try offering 30 or 40. Hitting the lowest  possible price the first time doesn't always sit well with a seller. With me it does not

it costs a whole lot more than 20 to make that stock... I am positive.

try 30.. or 40.. that's the most

People are asking 300 for colt stocks..  40 for a something that doesn't beat the five foot rule seems fair.
