I sure would like to see a scan of the letter he sent for. According to my records, this gun had a pistol grip stock when it was first sent out in early 1898. Supposedly, it was also sent out with no safety. Did our original poster ever get his PGCA letter? And what makes us think that this gun came from the factory with a skeleton buttplate? Sawing enough wood off the stock to install a skeleton plate will make it too short to appear or shoot like original. This gun was probably originally sent out with a Silver pad.
