You indicated the wood shows no damage or repairs, but there appears to be a hole behind the tang and something going on below the cheek piece? Interested in this gun, thanks.

Smokey Plainsman, The hole is a grease hole intentionally placed in stock. I am not certain if that was original or added at some point but if it was added it was done many years ago. PM if you are interested and I will send you my number for an in hand description. I have numerous photos as needed. Thanks

Is that a mother of Pearl inlay on top of the wrist?

 

[1sogdusm]

Yes sir I believe it is!

I posted this rifle several years back and kind of forgot about it. I decided to bring it back up one last time here and see if there is any interest with a little price adjustment. I will consider interesting trades but please send a PM if we head down that rabbit hole. A real Plains Rifle sold by a famous West Coast retailer, hard to match. Photo added to comply with new listing rules. Price adjustment in original ad.
