An Ounce of Prevention
Here's something I've never seen before...
This is a 20 ga. Remington Parker DHE ser. no. 241913 which was removed when the gun was relatively new as it has nearly all of its original finish including the bluing of the skeleton steel butt plate.
Apparently Remington mortised the stock head and glued in a hardwood tenon in the shape of a dumbell. I have not seen this on any other stocks I have examined.
Has anyone else ever noticed this preventative feature?
