Thanks Dan, yea, that's the thing about AM's gun. As far as I'm concerned if they're perfect they should be in their birthday suit, architecturally speaking.....

Very nice elegant simplicity.

Just because a rifle doesn't have carving, inletting, etching, inlays, toe plate, entry thimble, or a butt plate doesn't make it any less a rifle. Simple elegance with classic lines now that's my kind of rifle.
