Yesterday I took the stock off of the 23 to try and figure out what had gone on. The but pad was different than the picture Calhoun put up so I figured maybe that was part of the "custom" work done on the stock.
The whole inside of the stock had a coat of clear something on it. I could see where there were darker spots in the forearm and towards the wrist that were probably epoxied over pins from repair.
Took the but pad off and the white line spacer was a piece of plastic I think maybe from a margarine tub. Looks pretty good for a bubba move.
So if she is from 1926 I guess she's really looking ok for a 97 year old. Bore looks good and I primed a piece of brass and fired it to test the firing pin. Looks good
I will get to shooting it sometime this coming week,
