Project update.
I had reason to visit Macon Gunshop Company in Warsaw Missouri on Tuesday. I took along the Stevens 250 action to see if they had or could make a buttstock for it. Bryan Macon rolled the action around in his hands and said, "This looks strangely familiar.". He soon came to realize he was working on replacing the buttstock on the very same model gun. We went down to his stock making factory and sure enough, his Stevens was just like mine.
I ordered a buttstock and forend wood from him.
I've found a forend from a 225 in my collection that fits. I really need to find or make a forend iron for it. We're going to visit another parts scrounger here in a bit.
