Dr. Sane,
I had no idea you were a card carrying member of the Roy Weatherby Society of Firearms Finishing, Decoration,and Bloody Mary Mixing. Ha ha! Dont worry, no intention of eliminating the elegant and refined pieces of white plastic on the old girls wooden parts, but, only because everyone does that, and it would change the gun from how it was when it was gifted to me. WL Moore has two of these guns in stock, that have suffered the same treatment, like I said, everyone does that. When bell bottom jeans and disco music make a comeback, Ill be ahead of the curve.
Only since I was in grade school and Roy was doing his traveling road show with the film of his African safari and the how wowie his rifles killed things. At every showing he gave away a 300WM (IIRC) and my little brother got to draw the winning ticket for the one we attended. Roy said something about who the winner better not be and got a good laugh. My Dad didn't win of course.
And BTW there is nothing contemporaneous or interrelated with white line spacers and the fashion/music $hit mentioned.
