The top and bottom views show a bit of a spread of the head of the stock compared to the width of the action. I'd take the stock off first thing and check for cracks or repairs in the head before I shot it.

That stock looks fine to me. Look at the area on each side of the upper tang. It's tight.

The wood's just a bit proud to the action. Just shows it's likely never been sanded down and refinished. Looks tight to me.

I always get a bit edgy when a vintage gun is advertised with 2-7/8" drop since many sellers will "round down" the drop at heel to state something less than the actual of 3" or even more. Then when called on it during the inspection period the seller fella asks if my measurement bar is dead straight, if I know what I'm doing, or he laughs it off as an insignificant measurement error, no big deal. IME a drop of 3" or more is a big detriment on reselling to most potential buyers, if and when.
I'm not saying that's the case with this subject Parker, but just sayin. If Dave the OP is really interested I suggest he ask the seller to remeasure and confirm the drop at heel before going ahead with the deal. |
