Thank you for your promptness. The bluing was my only involvement to the unit and only done to prevent rusting. I don't understand the term - case colors?
It took me a moment to digest your questions and apply them. By using a straight edge the cast would appear to be "O", however when sighting frrom the rear the comb appears to be slightly ofset to the right and the tang does appear straight.
The comb measurement is 1 3/4" and the heel is 2 3/4".
The pull factor is 13 1/2 " to the centre of the butt plate and 14 1/8 to the back of the recoil pad.. with 14" to the butt base and 15 " to the recoil base.
Isn't there a danger of barrel warpage if the sling mounts are installed later? although it does look like the stock sling mount was done later because of the imperfect installation.
I really don't understand the purpose of the barrel protector as it does seem to interfere with sighting down the barrel even though it is made of very thin spring steel.
Thanks again and I'm learning a lot about the gun.
