Four hundred bucks for a stock #3 is great! With apologies to MA, before rechambering, I'd remove the forend band, and then the forend in any attempt for accuracy, just to see. Red just rasped the wood away. My Hornet shot great with the forend rebedded.

The sidelever was also made in 1974, thanks 1878!

I can see I've posted hero shots before, who built the .405, J.B.? Engraving?
