maca 49,great photos, i love the huskie.the swedes made great guns, very solid. that hollis single,i noticed the screw on the top level is not screwed in right.these screws are schampered so that they rest flush.so it either needs to be tightened or it has been overscrewed over the years, it which case it needs to be packed out, a washer made out of gasket paper should do the trick.remember el boraccho's post, don't use an ordinary screwdriver,which are tapered to the slot, use a gunsmithing one,parallel to the slot,or grind one to suit. also that damaged top strap.if you remove the action from the stock, an expert tig welder should fix this.you then could get it engraved. you may already know this stuff, so apologies if you do.

This old gun hasn't been apart for 40 yrs, I just keep it stored in a box and see it every 5 yrs or so! Thank you for the comments
