Hi Cerjak
Ohhhh........yes, that one would need a lot of restoration.
For ME, that would be a perfect "parts" gun to keep on hand for restoring others.
But yes. As you mention the shoulder length Tufuck butt stocks were made in at least two sections. And everyone I've seen were made this way. Except, the short grip variation mentioned above. One reason I believe the shoulder length butt stock was made as a seperate piece was to accomodate the desired LOP for the individual owner. This would allow a shorter or longer LOP for a different owner by just shortening or adding wood to the stock at a future time. Of course, thats just one theory of mine.
What I have noticed in handling and measuring many of these Tufucks, the LOP on the shoulder length stocks measure about 12" (30.5cm) and the short butt stocks are about 8" (20.3cm). And this seems consistant with each one I've measured.
