I'll see how much shorter it is than the 1 gun (I don't think it's off by much) and either leave it or put a bit of wood on the end. Present point on re-cap taken but there are plenty of nice guns with a "wooden extension that isn't more than an inch long). T If it is only off by a little, like one inch or so, I would leave it alone....just use your slip on leather pad and forget it........no re-caps........It's not a barn gun mate............. BTW....pairs were not always 'identical' in every aspect........sometimes his and hers...... I have faith in you....... you will figure it out properly mate......... Cheers, Doug

It's out there somewhere, just keep looking. When finished, it will be almost unnoticed. JR Be strong, be of good courage. God bless America, long live the Republic.
