The gun has some mechanical problems as well. I got a good deal so I don't feel bad spending a little to make it "right." I talked to the gunsmith today and he is going to shave the stock for me both at the comb, and probably thin the sides to fit a butt plate. The stock is really thick.
I looked at the dimensions of the gun versus my fitting and the difference is 11/16" at the comb, and 9/16 at the heel. I will tell him that if it will take too much "height" out of the butt of the stock to leave the butt higher if needed. I don't think it is going to be a problem because the butt is a good 5" tall at the plate.
Thanks,
