Hey Marty,
I was a custom carpenter, in another life. I worked in a mill working shop making custom windows and doors. Occasionally I'd do something ham-fisted like drop my block plane on a door.....leaving a good dent. I took them out with a wet cloth and an electric iron on med-low heat. If I was fixing a dent on a finished wood surface.....like the stock on your gun.... I would put a drop of water directly on the dent and let it soak in a bit. Then be very "surgical" with my wet cloth and iron. Hit just the dent. Use only cotton cloth. Even out the little blemish with matching stain. It works well. Good luck.

That's good to know Stuart. I would some day like to see that in action.

Not sure why the gun didn't make it in today. Arrived in Alb yesterday. Only about 15 min away. Looks like I'll have to wait til Monday. Here's a sneak peak;

I have some beautiful Sheridans, including Model A's & B's & very early C's , that are SUPER nice !! I shoot every rifle I own, But I am " extri keerful " when handling those !!

I have seen these Steve & they are beautiful, but your "B" is the most incredable AG I've ever laid eyes on!

You've done it again Marty! Great find.

Let us see your "B" Steve.

Thanks Dave. & don't you dare Steve...at least not until I show blue...

I am apprehensive about disclosing prices but in this case I will, simply to show there are still deals out there to be made, & because it isn’t what some might think. It takes a lot of searching. My finger tips are callused, maybe not that bad but close.

Blue w/Williams; $331 negotiated to $260, & this one; asking price of $175 negotiated to $160. To place this into perspective, I looked at a very nice blue for $400 w/o the Williams.

I love the classic beauty of a nice wood stock!

Yng@hrt · « **Reply #69 on:** March 12, 2018, 07:22:11 AM »

Isn’t that the truth Lizzie? I remember when I was in wood shop in junior high school. I wanted to use the types of woods my instructor was using but my parents said they were too expensive. So I had to settle for either mahogany or pine. That’s right; mahogany was very inexpensive back then. Looking back, it was a very nice wood.

I planted several Texas Red Woods (a tree you should be familiar with

) in our back yard. I planted two too close to each other so one had to go. I let it dry for a couple of years. Plained one side of an 18” bucked piece, ripped it into 3/8” planks & made my wife a jewelry box. Very pretty wood & nice grain.

Drying and planing wood is no easy task!
I bet the jewelry box was beautiful...how thoughtful!

A comparison between the '69 & '75 Williams.

I am hoping someone can shed light as to when this change occured. I'm almost positive the '75 isn't a pop-off. The script on those is quite a bit different.

The other blue finally made it onto the truck & will be here today.

I'm not sure if this pic will show large enough for a comparison. The same seller had this identicle williams to my '75 on the Silver Streak he was selling during the same time frame on eBay. The Silver was a '74.

...expanded the image on my pc...

Yng@hrt · « **Reply #78 on:** March 12, 2018, 09:24:20 PM »

'78 Blue Streak (232000). Darn near perfect.
