There isn't a cut in the stock, just the evidence of filled holes. I'll take another photo of the heel and add it to the album as soon as I get more batteries for the camera.
How do I determine if my rifle has a short top tang?
I was just thinking today that I should not be so anxious to go shooting the rifle extensively with jacketed bullets, as the barrel is, after all, over 100 years old. What kind of bullet did Remington intend for this barrel? I think I have some cast bullets from shooting .30/06 and I should probably load up some for this rifle. Lead bullets won't hurt the bore.
Thanks for the input. It's been very informative.
