Barefoot is HC. Just remove the crew socks.

Finger on the trigger isn't HC either.

Looks like a perfect match.  A long slender gun for a long slender gentleman.

What you don't see is the Revanewers coming down the path at the fence line - got to be ready . Where is his corn cob pipe and jug!

Sure you didn't mean PC?  As in politically correct?

While I agree that the finger shouldn't be on the trigger from a safety standpoint, I don't know that I would say it's always been that way, historically speaking.

They did a lot of things back then that makes some shutter today, like priming the pan before pouring the main charge, etc.

Enjoy, J.D.

Sorry JDK - just the firearms and hunter safety instructor leaking out of me.  I have been darned near killed twice by guys with fingers on the trigger accidents so I get a little itchy when I see it.

I get Jerry....and a good eye you have to catch it in the photo.

Unfortunately there are still real world situations that often require a finger lightly staged on the trigger.  But that calls for a whole different kind of training, and even then, accidents happen sometimes.  Been there, have the t-shirt.

Of course, an easy afternoon on the front porch isn't one of those situations.

Enjoy, J.D.

It's my sisters husband.......he HAS to keep his finger on the trigger to stay alive....

My sister is meaner than a roll of barb wire wrapped around a wounded wolverine in the middle of a burning barn.....

Very nice gun.  Are there any other pictures of it here?  I'd really like to see a closeup of that nosecap.

Thanks
