Hey, Y'all,
You'll probably want to stay away from the forearm wood that's used on the newbies, because their stylized schnabel doesn't bear the least resemblance to the original wood. The schnabel on the originals was almost a ball, rather than a schnabel hump, and bore a triangular inlay (some horn, some ebony) in the very end of the forearm. The new forearm looks grossly "oriental", for my taste.

When I get a little more "computer literate" I'd be proud to post some pictures of some of my old junk, if anyone would be interested. But I gotta forewarn ya, my tastes run a little on the traditional side (no plastic-stainless space-guns for this ole cowboy, but everyone to their own). To me a firearm is as much a work of art in metal and wood as a tool to go boom, especially when we're talkin' single-shots. To me, the best thing that's happened in the world of guns in the last fifty years is the Ruger #1.

By the way, I'm lusting after a #1 in .300 H&H (good ole .30 Super), so if anyone runs across one for sale or trade, please let me know. My e-mail address is for publication, and is---wcrushton@yahoo.com-----and Thanks in advance!!!

"When in doubt, use more gun!!!"
