Bishop Stock

[flounderman]

stock looks to have been inletted. bishop didn't machine their blanks to close tolerances. can't tell from the pictures how good the inletting is. forend tip is probably plastic, rather than ebony. I would guess it is inletted for the o3 with the milled triggerguard. midway bought fajen and bishop. fajen could have bought bishop, first. don't remember. a long time ago you could buy a stock from either of them for less than 10.00. I sent a slab of walnut to fajen and they turned and inletted a mexican mauser for 20.00. I can't tell if your stock has finish, but it appears the outside has been finished. Bishop left a lot of excess wood on their blanks. barrel channel looks to be a military springfield. could have been an a-3 with an 0-3 trigger guard. didn't see a cutout for the barrel mounted rear sight. either springfield should fit it.

I had a gut feeling as well.

After my you accepted my cash offer on 2/29, you PM'd this at 10:23pm on 2/29:

"Send me your address and I will ship it to you,make the determination that you want it,if no,ship it back,if yes you can pay me w/money order,ok? That's fair right? "

We swapped addresses on 3/2.

Then this at 4:49pm on 3/4:

"Just checking to see if you have sent the funds out yet,so I can get this boxed up and ready?If the shipping is less than what you send it will be in the box also!"

I checked out some of your posts first(did my homework). I got lucky this time!!!!!!(Move on):takinWiz: and gain some more posts,the higher the posts the more trustworthy(COMMON SENSE),time takes care of the others! The next time don't tie items up that other folks are serious about wanting,that's the lesson to be learned! Still the best forum on the net!! GT27

Post count is meaningless. I've bought and sold on many forums since '98.

I explained how you changed the deal in mid stream for the elucidation of others - it is up to them to decide how to utilize that information.
