Good stuff BSA and Big Buddy, B, yes i remember BSA, that stock came from our old buddy BobinNH, he gave it to me, i think i gave it to Scotty, Justin at pre-64win sold me the stock i sent to you for bedding, and as said, i couldn't give a rip about bedding stocks, same with adding a bit of finish to protect the wood from rot or oil soak, making these rifles serviceable as long as i own them is all i care about, my survivors, auction houses and potential new owners can argue that value bullchit, i wont be giving AFF! ; ]
And yessir, the action itself acts as a wedge to split the wood on every firing, screws against the holes are even worse, a pre-wedge splitter if you will, i put them to sleep making them ineffective only holding the pieces together.
