Wow! That's a dandy Larry!

Looks like the serial number starts with 241...

That gun has great condition and fabulous wood!

Default 241 Serial number

Yes it does Dean. I think it's a 98-99% gun. Chuck is doing a letter that I hope to get in the next few days. I may drag it along to Las Vegas with me.

I sure hope the wrist of that gun has some sort of reinforcement. With figure like that, it is to be like spaghetti.

I would think that crotch grain running straight up through the wrist would make it ultra-strong.
In my experience of splitting firewood these last forty years, crotch grain like that is as tough to split or break across the grain as American Elm is. JMHO

Crotch grain like that is very soft. The actual grain of that piece of wood is going directly across the stock. Stocks figired like this that i have dealt with in the past have been able to flex the wrist back and forth when the butt is clamped in a vise.

Pieces like this are best used on drawbokt guns.

That is exactly the opposite of my experience.

I think that stock is beautiful and would be proud to own that gun. And I would never concern myself with it being weak in the wrist... Never.

The number one rule of stock wood layout... straight grain in the wrist.
