Very cool, thank you for checking, I would love to see that!

Jim, thank you for the offer that is much appreciated.

As to the lug, I wondered the same at first until I got the action out of the stock and got a better look at it. There is quite a lot left, and the lower receiver/lug extends all the way to the magazine box so still plenty of area left for shear strength. I have some actions opened up in the US for magnum calibers that I’ve scrapped with excessive lug removal.
