Looks about perfect to me if the off side is as well laid out. The action area is strong. It flows down through the wrist. A DR usually has a bit more wrist drop which would likely make a weak area at the grip point, but most have grip caps which add the strength to counteract this (that and looks are why they are there). The butt is wild as it must be for a man's gun. Plain wood is fer sissies only. (This opinion has nothing to do with me being a stock seller) One must always remember that plain wood gets you the ugliest girls and also causes cancer and socialist leanings. The fiddle in the wrist does not cause weakness like burl or feather does. Really fine blank. Poor grain flow in the wrist can reduce strength up to 95% according to Mark's Engineering Handbook. This is a good one. As for price, $1000-1500 is reasonable. Beware if it was "dried" in Turkey. |
