Re: New Walnut Stock Finish

Re: 1892 snowballs chance... front band?
Well now I'm embarassed... my receiver is only a 5 digit... sorry. I don't teach math. So an 1896 setup would be much easier and probably more "correct" anyway. Sorry for my course vernacular usage of band, but I assumed that since the lower bands are relatively unchanged though the servic...

Re: Sad fate of #482
I have bought from him... transacts smoothly. I was just excited to get an earlier numbered receiver. For a shooter it isn't so bad, right? You all have a fine eye... I would not have noticed some of the details you have. That will make this considerably harder to find "good" parts! But I ...

1892 snowballs chance... front band?
I realize there is probably a reason I can't find one otherwise... does anyone have access to, or perhaps whispers of a location for an 1892 front band?
