You are 100% correct . It’ll be okay it’ll just take a bit to get over the initial let down

On a positive note a fellow I’ve done business with before tells me he has a wooden box with a bunch of Parker parts inside , hammers screws etc . Including a top lever hammer gun only missing the barrels . Supposed to send me pics and price soon . Now if the good lords willing the creek don’t rise and I follow my diet , that box of stuff might just have several pieces to get this 4 frame gun back on the right track

I have my eye on two items in a local auction this weekend . An S&W 19-3 2 1/2” and a Remington 700 ADL 270 of 1962 or 63 vintage . It’s the first checkerung pattern ADL and the squared safety button . 270 needs a reblue but I’m looking at it as a donor to build a 6mm-06 with 1:8 twist so I can shoot Berger 105 and 115 VLD’s . The 19-3 I would like to have because it’s a pinned barrel gun with a recessed cylinder and it’s a match for the 19-3 4” I already own . For some innate reason I’ve recently become enamored with 19’s and 29’s provided they’re pinned and recessed .

Craig, you didn't show us pictures of the problem upper tang. The other problems are a piece of cake. The big beavertail on TX's VH may not be a problem either. I gave a Super Fox with a bigger beavertail than that one to a friend and he found a wonderful splinter forend buried in the beavertail, did a wonderful job of carving it to shape and recheckering it in the factory Fox pattern. Even the latch assembly fell into place.

Relaying the rib while possibly being easy for someone that does it is not an inexpensive proposition . A stock without a factory stamped correct serial number is also a big problem to me .

What I “assume” is an incorrect upper tang .
