The gun has been restocked. Butt and forend. The original pistol grip guard was cut off and lengthened. The quality of the work overall looks to be very good. But the devil and clues are on the details.
The checkering on the whole gun is more proper for a B grade or A grade. Not a C grade. And the shape of the end of the guard tang is simply not right. And you can see where it was welded up front with discoloration to the metal finish.
The gun sure is an attractive shooter. Use it lots.
