Re: A Martini sporting rifle

The one thing I did do differently to the pic which was discussed at planning stage was to lengthen the wrist so tat I could leave off the comb fluting. If you check the latch end of the lever in the sample pic I put up and the one that John added, you can see that the lever end is behind the comb nose which can crown the hand and so the sporting version have the fluting the relieve this area. By lengthening the wrist the fluting becomes superflous. I have a suitable piece of buffalo horn which I will suggest to Euan for the forestock tip but he often prefers them plain. Will see him at the weekend so will know then.
