So, I see one of those Double Badger 22/410 O/U wood stock on Gunbroker. No Reserve, low price, missing parts, parts gun, broken, no returns. Took a chance put in a loww bid and won the auction. Picked it up yesterday, unwrap and start looking it over. Looked brand new except for missing hinge pin, pin retaining screws, and two screws on top of the tang. Measure for pin size and find a piece of stock the perfect size. While I am getting ready to make a new pin I happen to hear something loose rattling in the buttstock , Loosen one and remove the other buttplate screw, tip up the stock and out roll 4 screws and the hinge pin.. I would have loved one of these 57 years ago as a kid hunting in the woods.

You got a good one. Why remove those and put them in the stock ???

could have been to prevent kids from using, or who knows. Best find ever, in my opinion. What it takes to get a broke gun running. Better than money.

You must be living right, Ellis!
