Hello Jack
Thanks for your prompt views and assessment.
Your probably nright about the refinishing of the stock, but as I had indicated to Erick... the blueing was my demise.
I rechecked the gun for the grove you mentioned and there doesn't seem to be any. As for the fore end , I agree that there is a piece missing that was probably done by the sliding barrel protector at some time... at least it seems to relate... and then goes to answer the question if it was a factory addition... which would be "no" as they would have made provisions to eliminate this happening.
Your quite right about the ammo... it's probably a good thing I only used Cannuck heavy load for the upland birds at the time.
Regards
Elmer
