The less than great quality of the photos shows what appears to be flaws where none exist - the fore end iron for instance looks crooked in the photo but its not. Similarly, some of the flaws that do exist conveniently are not as obvious! The less than perfect of wood to metal and the fore end not as well fitted to the barrels as I'd prefer. You may have noticed the plug that had to be put in a knot behind the cheek piece and the extra wood acraglassed onto the bottom of the stock where it meets the receiver. I'd cut this stock for another project and discarded it due to the knot, which turned out worse than expected in the blank. The wrist/action buttress' were too thin necesitating the added wood. Never expected it to turn out so well when I decided on these expedient "fixes"!!! The good thing is that wood is the easiest thing to replace later if I choose to. Thanks for the praise fellas! I do appreciate it greatly.
