Some of you may have seen the pics of the 1927 NID Ithaca that I had some questions about a while back. Long story short, the stock doesn't fit me so I'm going to re-stock it and I figured that my chances of getting the color of a new stock to match an old forearm was slim to none so I'm gonna change that out too. My question is, what available stock finish would give me a nice original look? Also would a sunburst pad have been available yet for a gun this old or would it have been just a hard plastic butt plate? I don't know why I need to know this stuff since I plan on keeping/hunting with it but it will bother me to no end if something isn't right on it.
Oh, and here's another question. When looking at guns on various online gun shopping sites, what the heck doe BLNE stand for?
