A Triple Lock that shipped April 1916 had MOP stocks. Think I tried at least 10 sets before I found a good fit. All of the poor fits were small.

So how do you ever sell the off hand set and keep a forum member happy, having no idea what the fit is like? I sold a very nice set, when I wasn’t even really wanting to sell at all…
So, it seems like your batting average isn’t all that good, being 1 in 2 or 3 and then one in 10. Mine, I thought was 100%, but it’s really now 0%. The set I put on the heater Triple Lock revolver didn’t fit great, and I attributed it to the hard life these stocks have led. The other set I affixed to a Triple Lock I bought once with Cokes on it actually doesn’t fit as well as I thought, as small slivers of light are evident I hadn’t noticed before.
OR, maybe I shouldn’t sell any of the dozen or so sets of stocks I own and, next time I need a pair, hope my odds are greater than one in a dozen or so, and a pair I have actually fits decently.
