I think it has a lot of eye appeal. I'll be the first to say that I am always highly skeptical of a re-done gun. What did it look like before??? This rifle is re-stocked. Thus, the original stock was a basket case. If the stock was that bad, what has the rifle been through? George is hesitant in his rating of the barrels. Good barrels are important to me. It's impossible to judge the condition of the engraving and metal finishes from the photos.

From the photos it's impossible to say more, and much of what I have said is of the devil's advocate approach. That is exactly the approach I try to take when considering a purchase. If you let your emotions run wild you will overlook or rationalize a lot of bad. If you shop with a jaundiced eye you will make a more studied decision. Then if you decide to buy you can let your emotions take over and enjoy your purchase.

Again, I think it has a lot of appeal, and I would be interested but for three things:

1. A certain Woodward .450/.400 3.25" in my gun safe;
2. A certain Webley actioned George Gibbs .450 NE in my gun safe; and
3. Poverty at present.

I love the carved fences. To see another Lang like it go to the Winter 2005 DGJ. There's a nice .577 BPE featured.

Get it in your hands, go out of your way to find fault, and if it passes this test, hold it near and dear to your heart. That's my creed.

Good luck, and keep us informed.
