I like the stepped wrist architecture. The carving between the wrist and the patchbox is unusual. I’d like to see the cheekpiece side.

I don’t see the double set triggers that’s in the text.

I believe that rifle was pictured in the original JHAT books in one of Wallace's articles, although back then, there was no associated information known or added.
