Back to the gun in question.
I have only one observation in execution that really puts me off - and that is the way the stock heads up with the action.
Looks like there is overhanging wood behind the fences at the foreward uppermost corners of the stock head. Looks as though the fences were carved too narrow or shaped wrong to be harmoniously joined to the wood above the sidelocks. Weired looking anyway...
It's actually quite disgraceful.
Any craftsman worth his salt would have shaped the wood to the contour of the action. Not left the ends jutting out in space and asking to be knocked and chipped.
