Picked up a very nice Krag sporter cheap the other day. Way back when the owner restocked it with a Bishop stock blank and then put it away. Sent it out , had it checkered, absolutely beautiful. Redfield sights reblued.
His son brought it in and said that after they had the gun finished they couldn't shoot it anymore.
Seems like they did the basic stock themselves and just sanded and finished the gun without fitting the comb of the stock. It was so high you could not get your face low enough to even see through the sights. Sent it out for checkering that way and then when they tried to shoot it they couldn't see the sights so they stuck it in the closet for 50 years.
I am cutting and sanding and will try and match in the finish without stripping the whole stock or boogering the checkering.
Pictures coming. I Hope!
