	Arnie, The gaps at the receiver are just too big. Filling them would make an otherwise pretty rifle look awful! I would fit the stock to the receiver and drill out the tang screw hole. I’d then make an aluminum pillar for the screw that I’d glue in with epoxy, at the same time bedding the tang mortises and receiver contact points if I thought it necessary. I don’t see the stock fit as a problem. However I have to wonder what’s going on with that lever!

	JKR. I would think a steel pillar would be better to prevent dissimilar metal issues but I like your idea. I have just used bedding compound only with a well lubed tang screw. Your method would be safer. If I were to buy this rifle I would get an MVA Schuetzen lever. I did some final polishing on one that came with a DST 32-40 I bought last year and it turned out well. I don’t think I have seen any of these long loop levers for sale and I see almost every 1885 part listed on eBay.

	Jack, I guess one of us should buy this nice rifle since we have good ideas to fix it. I was hoping it would be you!

	Simply put, all movement of the stock will include filling and redrilling the screw holes. A "real" gunsmith knows how to do that.

	JKR. If I hadn’t just bought two rifles from Joe last week, I would be interested. And I am no real gunsmith but I am a disciple of the famous Harlow Parkenfarker. I have seen this quality of work by some self described ‘real’ gunsmiths. I have a Ballard that I had rebarrelled and the ‘smith’ initially used the wrong thread pitch and then re-threaded to Ballard threads. When confronted, he denied ever seeing the rifle despite email threads discussing its progress. It was a RKS barrel and later when I mentioned it to Ron Smith while relaxing over some Canadian whiskey at Tommy Mason’s range, Ron said ‘you only need one good thread.’ We are taking Joe’s thread off topic though. Hope he finds a buyer. Jack

	Phew. My resolve was weakening, even though I have zero use for an offhand rifle!

	I’m in no way a Schuetzen guy. I just have a soft spot for Highwalls.

I hadn’t said anything but it looks to me like the stock has been shortened up after the original checkering. The very tips of the front points are missing. Don’t get me wrong, I really don’t mind the look, and like Jack, already owe Joe for a barreled action or I may have taken it. It’s a good looking rifle. Bob

	Joe seems to be our resident drug dealer. He gets us hooked with parts and pieces them WHAM! He tempts us with quality rifles that eventually only deepen our addiction. I thought about joining Schuetzen Anonymous but then I slapped myself, took a cold shower and sat here checking the USPS tracking progress waiting for the cold sweats to subside while I ponder how I am going to replenish my Joe Dobrynski acquisition funds. I may try sitting on a local busy intersection with sign reading “Need Cash for Guns”. Jack

	Bob, Yes I also noticed the checkering. It makes you wonder why it would’ve been shortened in that manner. I’m confident that I can move the stock forward that amount since the tangs look like they fit pretty well. It will be interesting to see what’s in store. Not being a Schuetzen guy, I may offer the butt stock for sale and fit a shotgun butt, pistol grip, stock. Too soon to say for sure.

Then there is all the eBay pieces and parks that you have to have. I estimate I have paid for at least a degree and a half at major universities for his girls. Don
