> Notches on the bottom are for barrel lugs which are drilled out for the "pins" or "keys" which secure the barrel to the stock.

Glad to hear you're keeping it. >

Hi Gary,

I guess, at one time, when the gun had it's original stock, the barrel was held by lugs. When the new stock was put on, they may have gone from the lugs to a single pin plus the screw on the tang.

Yeah. I guess I'll hang on to, unless someone makes me an offer I can't refuse. However, as soon as I can convince my wife that I really need more pieces of iron in my closet, (I just bought a new Sig pistol) I think I'd like to get a BP rifle that's good enough to shoot in competition.

Bob
