SKB, this is no joke. One other thing about this gun that I did not describe is that it is clad with a metal cover that runs from the action to half way down the stock. This metal cover is in two sections and is screwed to the stock. The cover is contoured to the stock. That is to say that it is shaped around the pistol grip. My initial thought was that this cover was done to stabilize a cracked wrist. Upon further examination, I do not think this is the case. I believe it may have been a requested feature done by Gibbs as it is too well done. That is the way it is contoured to the stock and all screws heads are perfectly lined. Also, the metal cover appears to be aged to the gun. If anyone has any insight as to this cover I would appreciate the information.
Regards,
