Re: Newly completed Dorleac & Dorleac .318 Mauser sporter

The quality and products produced by D&D are exceptional. It is easy to understand why they command the status and reputation they do. I have a similar rifle in the same calibre from WR made in 1923 and it is fairly authentic in every aspect. So I know theses rifles and I love them; it is a most useful one here in Africa for almost all except the DG animals.
My only comment, and it is just that and not a criticism, is that the safety flag is also marked "FIRE" . This for me is a bit of an overkill as the opposing side has the expected "SAFE" anyhow. The British were unmatched in those years of gun making for understatement and it would be great to see this theme carried through on this model. Finally I would like to see the clearance of this safety flag with the Zeiss scope in a photograph. Having said this; it is a wonderful piece of work by D&D. Well done to the team.
