I just got a new 1885 Browning Highwall rifle in 45-70. My son noticed that the but stock is a bit loose. There is a slight shift from l to r. Is there any way this can be tightened? My guess it has a bolt through the stock. I do have one more question. Wht would anyone put a high gloss urethane finish on an old style gun. Would it be a sin to strip it and put an oil finish on it, the wood is beautiful.
