Above rifle came up at auction, I bid on it however backed out when the bid went beyond what I felt it was worth. The good the metal matched and was about 90%, retained the rod also. The bad it had the stock spliced on the but to extend the stock, but plate relocated and then the but taper was recut and sanded to align with the new splice. Stock also was sanded and refinished. A couple of horrible pictures, with overall view lifted from the auction site. A local dealer purchased the rifle, not certain if he understood the stock was dinked with. Certain this will be for sale as is or with some restoration attempt or new stock. A really shame on the stock mess.
