Magna stocks
Bob, that's a dandy. It seems that the .32-20 was quite popular among the gunny folks over in our eastern mountains.
Which brings up a question; Last night I was reading an article about the Cades Cove community in East Tennessee. There was a photo of one of the prominent families in the cove, dated 1930. The two older sons, as was the custom back then, were posing with their handguns prominently displayed, and one of these gentlemen was holding what appeared to be a K-frame S&W with a 5-inch barrel. Just above the web of his hand was what appeared to be the top "horn" of a Magna grip. Seems to me that 1930 was a bit early for Magna stocks. Anyone have an idea how this could be, or was the author mistaken in his dating of the photo?
