I always wanted buckskin to hunt in during muzzle loader season but never went so far as to have them made.

Re: Ruger/Marlin 1894
It could be they stress fractured due to being too hard by barrel harmonics/ pressure as a bullet goes by. Those screws , for what they are doing could almost be dead soft.
Heck they could have got a bad batch of screws from the manufacturer!?

Re: Carry gun for an 89 year old man……good one
I went to school with a guy who had been run over by a tractor trailer as a kid, paralyzed from the waist down. Under his wheelchair seat he kept a Gurka knife and he always packed some sort of pistol.
Good for that man, hope he never needs to use it but I'm sure he is more than capable.

Zoom in and look at the crystalline surface, looks almost like a flat gray indicative of too hard. I bet a file would skate right across the surface.
If ya cant file it its too hard.

With the material removed from the floor and top strap I'm sure it is still safe for warm loads but I don't chance it with hot stuff.
