It is a sporter (english) stock, grade II. It is not "like a 2X4" but I'm not sure. Thanks for your help. i am still not sure. The dimensions are 1.610 across the face and 1.98 tall at the face. The mystery continues.
Now that's a different story.
I measured my 3 BSS's at the wrist, across the first tang screw behind the trigger guard.
20 ga. Sidelock - 4 1/2"
20 ga. Sporter - 4 1/4"
12 ga. Sporter - 4 3/4"
Perry, don't get me wrong, I loves the BSS's and I even owned a 20 gauge Grade II but am I alone in finding the grade II engraving a little cartoonish?
