KY Jon, Had to laugh at the accuracy of your comments re: Remingtons split even if you can't see it. Someone up here just asked for advice/assessment on a 1894 A grade. I told him the stock is split....can't see it but it's split. Sometimes people don't want to hear that but as you say, a potential bargaining tool. I'm not done buying Remingtons but I expect every one I buy to have a cracked stock.

The world cries out for such: he is needed & needed badly- the man who can carry a message to Garcia
