Hi, I received my 1915 era Ideal Grade from Galazan last night and I think it has a serious problem that I hope someone can help me with. On the metal strap on top of the receiver that the safety is mounted on I think I have a crack. Forward of the safety there are two screws; the crack, if that is what it is, is located between the screws approximately 3/16" forward of the screw closest to the safety (smaller screw). I really like this gun but I have a sinking feeling that I'll have to return it and wait another 5 years for another opportunity. On another note the gun was advertised as completey untouched but the stock has obviously been refinished - why do vendors false advertise like this - I just don't get it. Anyway, I'm hoping against hope that the gun is alright but I think I know better. Any and all comments are appreciated.
