Hi Richard.
That linen lining is interesting. Never seen that before. The front barrel band on mine sits over the brass reinforcing band about an inch behind the front tip of the stock. Think I posted a pic of the muzzle here. If not, let me know and I'll post it. On my I-Pad at the moment. Have to be at my laptop.
Thanks for that Link !!! I'll read that tomorrow morning.
Haven't tried her out yet. Will probably be early Spring before I do. Can't wait
Since your's don't have any original barrel bands left, any feel yet for what you might use ?
Rick.
