Was at our club range the other day and there was an elderly fella there w/ a trio of Rem 700's. Friendly enough gent, so we talked a bit. One of the rifles was a new (CDL?) with the satin finished wood stock and 24" barrel.
Turns out the gentleman had returned to Remington an older Rem 700, chambered in 30 '06, for the purpose of having the rifle rebarreled. His original rifle was a BDL model, with which he had a long history.
This fella claimed that Remington would not return his rifle, and sent him the new CDL instead. Brand new. They did not rebarrel his action, they did not install the new Mark X trigger in his action, and they did not return his 70's era BDL stock. New gun, and he claimed no amount of conversation w/ Remington would change the result.
I have no other details, I have no idea on the condition of his original rifle/barrel, and I cannot advise if there was conversation aforehand.
Without these details, we are left to speculation, .....but if I wanted "my" stock back, and those folks would not return it.....might be my last new Remington.
