Thanks guys! It's a really difficult rifle to photograph, and (imho) it actually looks more believable in-hand than it does in the photos, although I'll nitpick everything until the day I die.
It's very difficult (for me anyway) to explain how I see this type of work. I fully understand that probably 50% of people hate them, thinking I'm nothing but a faker. I view it in my own mind as storytelling, and it's one of the reasons I call it an "art piece" as in my experience most people interested in something like this are not buying it as a shooter but more typically as comparable to a piece of art like a painting or sculpture; something you would not expect to "do" anything. I make sure they're well-marked on most interior surfaces, and frankly if any buyer requested I sign it externally (and then age the signature I assume), I surely would do so.
