Neat old tymey stock repair

[B. Dudley]

I took this one apart tonight to clean it out. Boy was it dirty. A lot of green buildup from the brass along those edges. Especially under the guard tang. And the whole inside of the action was full of gunk and waht looked like small bugs.

Anyway, what is very interesting about the wrist is that with the stock off, there is no evidence of any damage or cracking. Which makes me wonder if this "repair" was doe as more of preventative maintenance. Odd. The only real way of knowing would be to take the plates off. But I don't feel like knowing all that bad.
