On my project list is: "Make one." <br /><br />Maybe the way to go about it is to saw some dummy buttstocks from scrap 2 x 6 and start experimenting with holes, grooves, Velcro, +good+ elastics. What ever.

Bought the thing about 30 years ago for 15 bucks, and at the time a surplus store in Redding had 2 boxes of 50 and wanted $20 per box. I occasionally fire .22LR as a single shot. Seems that if I load the magazine with modern stuff, the poor gun has a tendency to "stutter" a bit.<br /><br />Rob Jinbredrednecknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-36381970088077197002013-09-24T22:42:10.885-04:002013-09-24T22:42:10.885-04:00FWIW, the modern plastic Wolverine is staggeringly...FWIW, the modern plastic Wolverine is staggeringly like the aluminum predecessor. A little lighter, mildly less sleek around the trigger guard; but they are both nice-shooting Buck Rogers guns.<br /><br /> Data Viking had feed/eject issues with his 1903 at first, too -- a good cleaning/relubing of the moving parts took care of it.Roberta Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956807794520627885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-55202897113674364492013-09-24T17:47:42.260-04:002013-09-24T17:47:42.260-04:00Remington Thunderbolt is my favorite reliable &quo...Remington Thunderbolt is my favorite reliable "cheap" .22LR.

Now, do I put them on the table at the gunshow this weekend? Naaa, I think I'll save them or when the grandkids come up. Nothing beats a range trip with the boys.

I used an aluminum cleaning rod, and drove an almost perfect rifled cylinder of soft lead out of the barrel. That was after only 75 rounds of the stuff through it.

Good to hear they can shoot good as well. <br /><br />And speak to me not of the newer plastic model.
