Hi Don and thanks. I depend on your keen judgement and extensive knowledge. I apprecaite it! I've seen pics of #2 gun, the stock has almost identical figure and pattern, so if it were a restock (which I don't know)then the owner had the good luck to find some good blanks to restock both guns.
Your observation on stocked to the fences is interesting. This gun was made in 1898, so perhaps this predates the "Stocked to the fences" only for Best Gun qualification.
FWIW, the gun also has disk set strikers and an articulated trigger.
Any thoughts on this?
Thanks again for the kind words!
Greg
