Removed the stock today and of course got the screw out the head . I think the wood will head to Danny Patton and see if he can perform ANOTHER miracle . Get the head oil free and glued , put on a pad and fill in the finial . My gunsmith buddy can get the lever back over in a more right of center position . It also has a slight bend which he seems to think he can work out as well . Think I’ll get him to do a rust blue on the barrels . After he’s finished with the top lever I’ll see if I can’t get the exterior of the action cleaned up relatively well . I was hoping when I got the Jostam off I’d find something written beneath but no cigar same under the grip cap . So far nothing
