vapodogvery well done....do we know who did it?.....and how much it cost?
George Beitzinger in NYC did the work, he used to do color case but now he sends it out, engraving also.

gerrys375Thomas Jones:
You and me both! (And I well remember a Win.92 in varying calibers in upstate NY on the local farms) Don't recall if it was a 25-20 but I recall handling a 92 every once in a while and thought the action felt "flimsy". That's my word and I guess I mean, looking back over 60 years, that the action didn't feel as "solid" as my Dad's Savage 99 in 30-30 -itself an "old timer" even then!
Still, I'm grateful to a fellow New Yorker for posting the pictures. It brought back memories. Those old timers still have the power to fascinate us, don't they?
