Thank you to all, friends,

Never forget that when we build a rifle we closely follow the customer instructions even if we apply them in our own style.
About the safety, indeed, we had preferred to use our own side swing system but the client insisted on the traditional Mauser flag as he plans to use that rifle mainly with open sights, the scope being an addendum for long range shots only.
To reply at some comments, when we mount an optic on an hand made claw mount we prefer to get the widest space between rings and we have found that blending front mount plate an rear sight on a single unit cleans and lightens the fitting.
As to the stock, it's difficult to combine a perfect fit for the two kind of sighting but having made now many such rifles we have succeed in designing a stock that is typical of our making and solves the greatest part of circle squaring (!)
The main trouble with US customers is the short LOP that makes difficult the elegant design of the rear stock, but we try to bypass the trouble in balancing all measurements.
However, I owe to the true to say that, when a rifle is fully completed, we are never fully satisfied with the result, and that always we hope to do the next one better.
Sorry for my bad written English, but it's certainly more understandable than my perfect French!

All the best.
