I think this one counts as Christmas also. grin

Was too nice of a shooter to pass up. It's serial number 354,5xx (1936) in 250-3000.. Bluing, checkering, bore.. all beautiful. Sling stud, d&t and a big crack behind the tang aren't so beautiful, but tolerable. The crack is going to be profesionally fixed, it's worth it. I expect the crack will still be quite visible, but the stock should be fixed so it can be hunted for the next 70 years or more. Be calling up Boses tomorrow.

Drilled & tapped with 3 holes, I'm presuming it's a Williams 1 piece. Have to call the sight guy and see if he's got one for sale.

And the sad part is... even cracked on the bottom side. Pretty sure this isn't a recoil induced split, I'm guessing somebody dropped it.
