Congrats on the new rifle and I am glad it worked out. The repairs looks excellent and one would think it should be extremely sturdy with the carbon fiber rods. I recognize the photos so I can guess the auction house. They are very good at wiping everything down with a silicone cloth or oil to make it look to possibly be higher condition that it truly is. That being said, I have purchased several things from them and I am glad that they seemingly worked hard to make it right for you. Enjoy your new double!
