Have an old Model 1893 made in 1904. It has 2 brass screw in the butt stock, obviously for repair, but... why? Looking for some insight. Thanks!
Can you provide a picture of the stock with the screws in it?texaschase said:Have an old Model 1893 made in 1904. It has 2 brass screw in the butt stock, obviously for repair, but... why? Looking for some insight. Thanks!
