    Only for these photos. It's back in the highwood stock now. I will post photos soon... or whenever it dries out in the Pacific Northwest so I can take some decent photos.

    I was talking to Tim when he was working on that one. He was having his doubts as the rifle was heavily polished but it appears the patient survived. Capn Bob, you saved that rifle.

    Here's the stock it came with. (I use the term stock loosely... it's mostly glue and brass rivets)
    I removed the shelac, lightly sanded then finished with USSR stain and some Tom's 1/3 mix.

    Yeah......Why did you ditch the hi-wood stock? Looks like a nasty split on the right side...repairable?
