Well that is different. I like the wood but the ivory around the magazine looks like a repair to a mis-cut magazine opening. I won't bother to say what the schnable looks like.

I've seen ivory used that way on other gun stocks....ebony as well (which makes more sense to me). The real problem is that they used ivory at all, making travel with the rifle across political borders now virtually impossible because of the zero tolerance ivory ban. I inherited some elephant tusk carvings of Samurai from 18th c. Japan and I know something about transporting ivory across international borders. Its very difficult, even with 250 year old antique art works. Looks like this rifle is staying in Canada.
