The point I was trying to make is that the gun was sold to Dickson as a takedown. And Rigby did not use that sort of system. In Rigby's system the forend was inletted for a takedown lever. So, at the very minimum, the forend would have had to be changed by Dickson and then the screw hole drilled in the receiver. I will inspect the forend one more time to see if there is a difference in wood grain between it and the buttstock.
