Craig, you didn't show us pictures of the problem upper tang. The other problems are a piece of cake. The big beavertail on TX's VH may not be a problem either. I gave a Super Fox with a bigger beavertail than that one to a friend and he found a wonderful splinter forend buried in the beavertail, did a wonderful job of carving it to shape and recheckering it in the factory Fox pattern. Even the latch assembly fell into place.

Relaying the rib while possibly being easy for someone that does it is not an inexpensive proposition . A stock without a factory stamped correct serial number is also a big problem to me .

What I “assume” is an incorrect upper tang .

The barrels actually ring relatively well even though the first two to three inches at the muzzle have popped up a skoosh . But I also assume they can’t just fix that but need to relay the whole damn thing .

My money's on that rib being the reason it's patterning low...
