Title: Stands...?
Post by: Aiala on February 17, 2016, 10:55:56 PM
Question: Are the 30-180S and 30-49 narrow stands interchangeable? To my naked eye they appear identical, but I'd prefer to rely on the experts. 

Much obliged!   :)

Aiala, they are interchangeable. The foot portion has a slightly different shape which means nothing unless you looking for a period correct replacement. Actually the foot shape is better suited for the more modern reel seats of today.  The 30-49 also has the holes drilled for a clamp. Mo can hook you up if you need one. Got a bunch from her several weeks back.
