Ok...have to admit it looks much better in the latest pics, than it did in the original auction listing.

Might have to eat some humble pie and say that it looks like a fairly well made gun and good value for money. Far to good for a lamp stand! Still not keen on the caliber though, but thats something else, and a cheek piece might have been a better investment than that carving on the stock.

Please note* some of my comments were actually meant to be a wind up, but it seems that although the American language was directly influenced by the English language... the humor is def not the same!

buckstiffy I wish you the best of luck with it, and if you do ever decide to make a lamp stand out of it, please make sure you fit a 3 pin UK plug!

Best
