Pardon for bringing up an old thread, but I have recently received this torador, though purchased last year!
The reason for bringing this to light again, is to enquire about a couple of things;
The stock , as in many Indian toradors, is joined in the fore-end.
This makes it a two-piece stock. Should both halves be glued together when I have the other repairs completed?...or, did they rely on bands or bindings to hold the foremost part snugly in place?
I have the buttstock glued back together through the bade break, but as the screws holding the parts together were not tight and the parts could fridge a little, there will be some further 'skin grafts' needed.
The bore is Very good, so will make a shooter when all repaired, And, there is no large breech cavity as we so often find on these arms! The last inch is slightly tighter than the rest of the bore, so Much easier to work with.
Will show photos of this in another thread.
Any further guidance /advice much appreciated.
Richard.
