I have an 1895 that appears to be a 1975 vintage. I think they call the stock finish Mar-Shield. It is NOT the older oil finish.
Mine is the straight stock and lever, with curved buttplate. It has some scratches and wear (pics on request).
If you have a similar rifle with a mechanically sound PISTOL GRIP buttstock and have any interest in trading, let me know. If you're in TN and wanted to trade whole rifles (mine is 45-70, I'd consider a 375 but really want to stay with 45-70), I'd consider that. Or if you have a pistol grip stock you wanted to sell, I'd be interested in that too.
Obviously, whatever I do, I'd want to try and get the stock, factory buttplate, lever, and trigger plate, as a package, if possible.
