I could see my Grandfather doing that. I think his craftsmanship would be better. He wasn’t like us where guns are valuable and interesting. They are tools to him, just like a hammer or knife and he would modify those to fit a need. I grew up without him ever sharing guns or shooting or hunting with me. I’m glad my dad taught me better.

Captain_coues,
I understand. My dad carried this 94 for years. If I recall correctly, it is a 30s year production. The stock got broken; dad was carrying it in a scabbard and had a horse wreck. The stock got broken/cracked, so he did a cowboy fix and wrapped some leather around it, tied it up with potato sack string and soaked it to let the leather shrink and firm up. I wouldn't dream of fixing the stock properly.

Some ingenious guy who couldn't afford a pair of binoculars but had a scope laying around. He didn't need or want a scope for shooting.
Maybe.

Maybe he's right handed but blind in his right eye? I've seen trapshooters do similar things who have eye dominance or general eye issues.

Ive got an old Winchester model 55. Probably would been worth a little money had some jerk off not welded a mount for the sling to the barrel......
