Ed, that little bump, at 4 o'clock on the rear leaf stem - is that necessary? It kinda jumped out at me and I thought that stem would have looked much more symmetrical
with the one in front of it, if that arc was smooth. If it needs to be there, or you have to have it there, then so be it. Maybe I'm out in left field, here - but that's how it struck me.
Oh - that's gonna be pretty.

Thank you Allen. Steve that is a fine looking rifle, I thought about doing a silver Indian but decided not, wish we knew more about it. Daryl I suspect the elves who play in my shop at night are responsible for the bump. I don't know where it came from or if it will remain. I may give it a name but then It will be really difficult to get rid of it.  Seriously, it is not in the original I modeled the carving from, I must have added it after drawing in the arcs thinking they were too symmetrical. Now L'm going to obsess on it, maybe I'll call this rifle "Bump". Thanks for looking hard.
