Yeah, you have about an inch long piece added to be upper tang.
To make the gun proper, that would have to be removed and dressed back down properly.
You deffinately have a fixer upper there.

Worth fixing in my book, but won't be cheap. I like the scallops in the bottom of the receiver.

A stock repair and good cleaning would go a long way with this one.

It appears that someone attempted to strengthen the receiver's fit to the stock because of problems with it. The fix made things worse. Not a good gun smith! Still it made the gun shootable for some more years. I would have the stock repaired if possible. That gun has some shooting history! Do you know any of it? David

Sorry for reviving such an old thread, I am boxing it up and sending to Brian right after the holidays!

Extremely excited to see his work. It only took two years to get it to him, so what's a little longer for getting a shooter back!
