    The 180 series receivers are completely different than the 181 to date receivers. I have seen people take the later stock and modify it to fit the 180. It looked kind of rough, but functional. I don't think it would fit the 181 and higher series after the modifications, so it could be a one way trip. If it doesn't work you can't turn around and use it on a later model without some serious work putting it back to original. It is at least possible, but I'm not sure I'd call it practical.

    IRARMSX,thanks for the info. i think i'll keep this little '200th yr." model just the way it is. too much hassle and expense for a possible one way ticket. i've had a couple of factory folders over the years and either sold or traded them, dang it!>bob
