Good timing The soon to arrive LCSCA Newsletter has an article discussing this very issue, with end-on pics of the head of the stock of a LC, Parker, Fox, and Ithaca. Oil blackened and cracked LC Destry's cracked Parker, with a much greater wood surface area to absorb recoil Destry and I have had this dance a time or ten, but I just can't understand the midset of expecting an elegant and lovely mechanical object designed in the 1880s to do something for which it was never intended. A Dusenberg is an incredible work of mechanical art, BUT JEFF GORDON PROBABLY WOULDN'T TAKE ONE TO DAYTONA. LCs ARE a 'thing of beauty and a joy forever' when used with the loads for which they were designed. Glasbedding will, however, provide much more comfort is using 'modern' loads. I'd still leave the Kent 1 1/2 oz and Fiocchi GP boomers to a Benelli SBE
