    Excuse the butt in; but the B78 uses a pistol grip stock and the later 1885 uses a straight grip stock. At least I think that's right.....

    .

    That's almost correct - only B-78's in .45-70 had a straight grip stock

    All B-78 forends had a slight schnobble tip..

    I would like to find-just like factory supplied wood.
    Nothing super fancy .. I looked a bit and pretty much gave up.
    Now I know why the barreled action was so cheap..The current owner couldn't find anything either.
