The texture of the wood seemed very "fiberous". Do I have a CHU wood stock? What the heck is CHU wood and how do you...

    Re: Looking for Taurus 809c (9mm) 17rd mag I placed an order with Taurus for mag extension sleeves for both the 24/7 G2 compact 9mm. Just got them yesterday. Waiting on mags. Taurus can't seem to even find a part number for the same item for the 809c 9mm! Go figure....confusing!
