Last night a Friend of Mine who is a self proclaimed"psychic"was over and We were talking about Firearms and He was interested in seeing what an M1 Garand was.I brought out My 2/43 Winchester and handed it to Him,He shouldered it and immediately handed it back(almost threw it).He said the wood has "worked hard" and it was too"intense,and had seen a lot of bad"to hold.He looked like he wanted to cry!
This long channel GHD stock came from Dupage and was fllthy,grimy and caked with sand.I kept hearing funny noises in the trap so I turned it over and all of these"rocks"fell out which look to be mortar or cement.This stock wears what I believe to be it's original buttplate and I replaced the rear long screw because it was "frozen",and ruined.I really would like to hear what My stock would have to say,and I know objects are supposedly able to store energy,but that belief is up to You.
Well here are a few pics of the cleaned stock and the Rifle it cradles.The rocks are shown and I wonder if I should leave them?Perhaps I'll put them back for History's sake ?
