Thanks to an old post by Chuck I was able to correct the forend being loose. There was a large dab of silicon sealant at the front of the forend. Chuck mention in his post a common issue of people trying to correct a lose forend by using felt and other items.
When all that was needed was to tighten the screws. I found both forend screws almost two full turns backed off. Removed the sealant and tighten screws. Forend fits like a new gun. |

Here are some pictures of the SBT that Brian reconverted to pull trigger for me. He also did some outstanding work on the wood. This is a late model gun with some pretty nice wood also. 241027

My 1917 SC came with a Silver pad. I suspect that 1917 is a bit early for a Hawkins pad. Tony sells Silver pads and repro Silver pads. I use the Griffin and Howe Silver repros, but they are apparently out of them.

Bill I did further research and You are correct. Hawkins pads were not patented until 1919.
