Hi Joe - Yeah, I up-loaded 4 pics. This is the 1st time I have used this website, so I must have done something wrong? I will go back & see what I did wrong.
Thanks for our interest, Jim |

Could be cracks on the inside and they just screwed it to make sure it held.
If it is a 12ga shooter without provenence I would remove that screw and countersink another one, plug the holes and checker over the panel. Whatever you do you will need to remove the stock to see what's going on inside. |

Looking again I see it has no checkering so it is not the original stock.

Someone blued the frame also, but we see that often. Agree with Dale about removing the screw and counter sinking and plugging , then checkering. How are the barrels? May make a good shooter.

There is a lot going on with that gun. The stock is likely replaced, possibly original, but over sanded, but I feel replaced. And it was bolted through the head. This is a common “bubba” repair for a split stock head.
The frame has been improperly buffed and blued. I cannot tell much about the barrels.

The stock head split. In the third picture you can see the glued split coming off the tang at about the 5:30 position.

And how proud the wood is against the metal and the thickness of the wrist as seen from the bottom is what leads me to believe the stock is not original. If an originL stock were sanded that much as to completely remove the checkering, the wood would not be as fat in these areas.
