Pistolgrip buttstock and splinter style forend show an excellent quality refinish, the forend is overall checkered, it was neatly professionally chased. Buttstock is French walnut and shows some very nice grain, the checkering on it was nicely chased as well. Both checkering patterns are very fine. Length of pull to the grooved bone buttplate is 14 1/4" with drops of 1 3/4" and 3". (2027-203) {C&R} [Stan Terhune Collection] (1000/1500) |
