Good eye, Dean. It's got a little more drop at heel and a little more cast off than usually encountered. It measures 1 3/8" x 2 1/2" x 14 5/8" x 1/4" cast off. I suspect a previous owner wanted it to be to his liking by having it bent, installing a Pachmayr Decelerator SC pad and having an oil finish applied. Then in turn I wanted it to suit me by switching to a Silver's pad, having mullered borders added, rebluing the barrels, re-casecoloring the action and finally by refinishing the wood with Timberluxe after being caught in a steady downpour during the 2016 Great Northern.

Ahhhh . . . the life of a gun . . . and the changes they sometimes have to endure.
