...so I'll have to live with it as is.

If it were mine, Buckstix, I would simply book it in with a sympathetic stock-maker to have the foreend "splintered" at some point in the future. Only then could I live with it as is!

BTW just curious about your excellent rendition of a Walter Locke trade label in the other thread, showing Lahore as the address, when the seller's advert says Calcutta.
What's on the barrels?
A Walter Locke-retailed Type B Oberndorf Mauser in my gunsafe says Calcutta, Lahore & Delhi.

Man, you are going to have a bunch of fun with this rifle, especially in the light of your experiences with the previous .577.
I have posted on here a million times that the .577 x 2 3/4 is my favourite cartridge by a country mile, from Samuel Baker's original heavy BP loads to the excellent light nitro and N for B loads developed since Wrightie's publications, and that remains my choice to this day.

Congratulations mate!
