From the close ups I would say the rifle was done right and a gun re-ferbished by the maker is not a draw back! However many of these guns are re-done by hacks and the quality of the work is not on a par with the origional maker. All I am saying is check it out as a good gun is an investment a re worked hack job is a liability and a loss. These guns when re done need the care of the creator and it is sad that many of these guns are referbished by people who have no consept of what they are dealing with or care. These guns are works of art and should be looked after as such. When buying one check it out and be careful!!!!
