With the weather being kinda crappy today and couldn't really get out to do much, I went to tinkering. I ended up doing something that I've seen before, but just got around to it myself. On my 34 Classic, the wood forearm extends past and covers up the barrel hinge screw. So, in order to tighten it if it needs to be, or to even check the tightness, you have to take the rifle out of its stock. That is not very maintenance friendly. So I took the stock off today and sanded out a portion of the forearm to allow access to the hinge screw. Then I applied a small amount of wood stain so it would blend well. It turned out near perfect. Just thought I'd share it.....thanks. TR
