[quote=Vall] Often paying others for quality repairs like this can cost more than you paid for the gun. That's not to imply those doing the repairs aren't worth the money. Just saying it's not always the best economical choice, and may end up being upside down in a gun when done. Vall is certainly correct. Even though Dave Norin is very fair on price, it wont be a cheap repair. But its really no good as it is now, it is a pretty neat gun, and you might as well bite the bullet, have it fixed and enjoy it. Unfortunately, youll likely be upside down in it but its only money, right?

I have a rifle I believe is by the same stocker. Long slide 48, hand guard checkered as yours, 1905 RIA, rounded cheeks in front of wrist checkering, and a very tall buttplate - something like 6-1/4. Ill get some pics. Mine has a cheek piece for a left handed shooter, but it looks similar to yours. Heck of a stocker, whoever he was.

I happened to see the following passage in Michael Petrov's "Custom Gunmakers of the 20th Century" Volume Two, Page 23. In writing about Townsend Whelen, Michael wrote "the first custom sporter he had made was on a 1903 done by an unknown Eastern seaboard gunsmith. This rifle was chambered for the 30-03 using a 220 grain bullet, introduced in 1903 and replaced in 1906 by the 30-06 cartridge. IT HAD A WOODEN COVER OVER THE TOP OF THE BARREL and used Winchester Model 95 musket sling swivels, much like the later Winchester Super-Grade sling swivels."
The bit in all caps is my emphasis.

I have pictures, but cant get them from my phone to imgur. I can email them to someone to post or do it from a computer later tonight.
Also, my buttplate is 5-7/8 and the barrel date is 1911, not 1905 as I stated before. Im sure it is the same stocker though.

The only way I ever could figure out how to get pictures from my phone to my computer to put on Imgur was to use my phone to email the images to myself, and then I could save them on my computer and load them to Imgur. Might try emailing your phone pictures to yourself.
