Never a screw turned? How did they get them in the gun at the factory?
As a sidebar...
Funny you mention that good Oregon gunsmith. I am currently restocking an early Lefever Optimus 10g that was done by him not too long ago. Every bit of the inletting was cut with a dremel tool and in the many places that it was over-cut, glass bedding was used. Heck, it was coming off stuck to the Sideplates. I wont even get into how bad the checkering was.
Oh well, with a lot of bondo, it made a good pattern stock.
