Re: Stomperud

<blockquote>Looks nice. I just posted on some other board that I'd not seen one in a 1912 stock. Now I have.

Re: Stomperud

<r>Here's mine. Great looking rifle, perfect bore, odd finish that, on the stock at least, I'm sure has been messed with.

Re: Help With Receiver Sight

<r>Thanks to your help I was able to figure out what kind of sight I needed. What's more, I was lucky to find one. Egads was it expensive! But, such is life - press on or give up. ;) <br /><br />Here are some pics. Someone varnished the wood way back in time and everywhere it's been dinged or scuffe...
