Yeh, I Think Zutz would agree with Doverham. I've had a few Supers and Citoris and I have a Merkel stacker. If the bottom plane of the forend is a continuation of the ventral line of the receiver, then an example with a relatively deep receiver also has a relatively larger distance between bottom of forend and top rib or top of top barrel. If you put the hinge pin and lug down under rather than using side trunnions, how could this be otherwise? But this is all old hat and we're boring Jerry V.
