| The absolute worst gun I ever shot was a 45-90 BPCR Rolling BLock. It belonged to an acquaintance. I fired that gun once, one, uno, 1x times. Now I have a 45-110, had a .375 H&H and guns don't tend to hurt me, but that Rolling BLock it was a killer. |

| I ordered a buttstock also to see if it will fit. I has a much tighter grip curve. So we will see. |

| You should still be on the lookout for an early model 12, maybe pre-1930. They have very slim grips and forends, unlike later ones that have a very fat and full pistol grip. |

Due to a hand injury, I cannot grip them. I need a very full pistol grip so I have a stock coming from a 525 16ga that should fit and has the really tight grip curve that I need.
I am having trouble with my Ithacas. I have an old stock that I am going to add material onto the front of the grip curve and tighten it up.
This is the gun I wanted but can't find one. However if any of you shoot 12 ga guns, one of these just showed up on Gunbroker
