A post I made earlier seems to have vanished.

Retriever Believer,

I remembered you had sold the Imperial but I did not think that it would be appropriate for me to mention.

As to the buttplate, I will have the 'smith check my 10ga for screw holes as I am very interested in finding out if it may have had one originally.

On the backaction Premier I bought from you. Last fall I had a chance for Toby L. to give it once over and to check on the repairs he had made for you. In his opinion that gun was restocked at some point in the past so I won't be able to check it for possible screw holed for a skeleton buttplate. Those two Premiers are my 'last to be sold, except for Grandpas guns'.
