Not to stray from nor hijack the thread or Fudd's question either, but in regards to Jack Rowe: About 25 years ago, I had picked up a really clean Greener field-quality 12 ga. extractor that was truly in nice condition with most all blue and case color, but the wood needed a refresh. I had no idea how to pull the buttstock off with the side safety and all, so I called Mr. Rowe. He was unbelievably gracious and helpful. He walked me through it step by step, without a hitch. It was a sublime experience I will always cherish, from a brilliant gunsmith and true gentleman.
