Took a 1894 Remington C grade over to Bachelders for him to examine. The stock had broken very clean in the wrist when I took a shot in SC's. It just came apart- the receiver in my left hand, the stock in my right. After some discussion he noticed quite a few very, very small lines running from under the top tang down to the trigger guard. Said they were insects and had only seen it once before. Like itey bity termites they had weakened the wood. I've had the gun for about 2 1/2 years and he thought they were in there when I bought it. Now I have another 20 or so guns in that same small room. Maybe have to fumigate it. Paul
