Giz, if you've got a good candidate for a big bore Fitz, let me know! The trade couldn't take any longer than say, oh, three to four elections......

Why for? I bet that friction tape has been on that gun for better then 40 years

Ask yourself, would it be the same with a spanking set of new stocks on it? I think it would kill the guns persona.

Why, because they are so Butt ugly

Kind of got that "toss the gun" because friction tape don't hold fingerprints feel..................LOL

I agree about the gun's "persona"... the grips look great! (but I still wonder what's under the tape)... suppose Jimmy Hoffa's name is carved into the wood grips?

And you're right, friction tape doesn't hold fingerprints!

Althought it is not my cup of tea, I ran across this article in the April 1935 American Rifleman and found some of it interesting.

I love the looks of that re-worked triple lock.But I can hear much weping and knashing of teeth over the reshaping of th grip.

THAT is slicker than a petroleum coated porcine!!!! Can you post the rest of the article??? Man! I'd LOVE to see/fondle that one!!!

That is the complete article. The column to the right is another unrelated article.

My opinion is... not that you asked for it is. This piece has a lot of character the way it is! It is a good shooter you mentioned. Why mess with success? Bob
