Mike:

Thanks. I have heard(or made it up) that the head of the stock was were the receiver/wood interface would be. If there's another term, or if it's incorrect I'd like to know. I have seen it on a few German guns, but it was masking something. By the way, it was reproofed/reproved in England for Nitro(and possibly 2 3/4" shotshells). I just don't need another project, or big project gun. So, who would have made it for them?

KInd Regards,

Raimey
