Mike, the guard is from Brad Emig. The first thing I do at Dixons is scout his table for cool stuff. This guard is actually a match for an early Shroyer fowler.
Thanks for all the compliments ,but there's a few things I would change in hindsite. The carving area behind the cheekpiece is to constricted. I should have shortened the cheekpiece and given myself more room.
The trigger got a lot of attention at Dixons. It doesn't touch the guard. You can get a piece of paper under it. But it would have looked better from an artistic standpoint with a visible space.
The thing I like most about the rifle is the very thick wrist. It was intentional. Not that I like thick wrists but rather to see if I can make it work. I like it.
