Hi Ronald and welcome. A customer service representative at Winchester stated that the fore-end cap is dyed wood rather than true ebony. Cheers, stay safe and enjoy!
Good afternoon to you!! According to American Rifleman the Super Grade rifle is typically made of real ebony wood. Winchester specifically mentions the use of ebony for the fore-end tip on the Super Grade models, which are known for their enhanced fit and finish and decorative features. Hope this is helpful. Have a good rest of your day.
Hi Ronald, the ebony tip on the Winchester Model 70 Super Grade Maple is not real ebony wood; some reports suggest it could be dyed wood. Stay safe & have a great day!
