Nice Early Underwood Repair

[frankderrico]

We were talking about stocks that had been modified a while back. This one came into the shop last week and I thought the members would find it interesting. Type one Underwood made by RMC. It still has its high wood.

Best Regards.....Frank

P.S. It feels good to be back to working on gun stocks!!

Thank you Frank. Great work -- as always on a stock well worth saving!
I'll take that 4.0 Underwood too, if you don't mind!!
Semper fi,

Yea There you go Frank !
Nice solid/strong repair.
With time the Walnut will naturally darken and end up spot on in color.
Best to do as you are now, get it close enough in color and allow for the natural darkening.
Otherwise later on you'll end up with a 'Too dark of a repair'.

Sure nice to see you back in the dust.

Cheers,

There's been a couple Johnson model 1941 rifles on GB with stock repairs similar to this, your work?

As always, another great repair.

Don't see many stocks like the one shown especially with the high wood remaining.

Frank it's good to hear your back at it. So how is you old body holding up now? You do have it licked right? You had better be or we are sending Charlie over to bug you. So you see you have a choice. Get 100% better or get Charlie. It's all up to you!!!!! lol

Any idea what the notch was cut away for?

Charlie -- it was to install a Lyman on a late Inland. It was only drilled & tapped twice. Not as bad as the low number IP receiver I got with SIX holes in it!!!

I could take the Ferry across Lake Michigan to Franks. I'd just have to follow the smell of glue and RLO to find him.
I've only been to Wisconsin a couple of times. Fishing the Northern boundary waters (Menominee River) along the Wisconsin-Northern Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Another time a group on us contractors cruised a yacht to see the Milwaukee Brewers beat on our Detroit Tigers.
Maybe get back sometime..........
