Im not one to normally come and piss on the bonfire but...

Isnt there a considerable gap between the left sidewall of the action and the stock?
The action looks to me as prefinished with a carding wheel.(Rounded corners , no clean lines).
Have seen much better craftsmanship.

What really turned me off is the stock, especially the rear tang groove for the cocking piece.
The cocking piece clearance at the back of the action doesn't look like it was ever sanded and the inletting does look loose.

Being given away I guess the owner cant complain, but just my 2 cents..




















For comparison, here is a dorleac in a similar style.
