Nice indeed. I too would be interested in knowing more about it.

I wonder why so many stockers insisted on covering the side plates? Stock strength is only marginally improved while giving it a pregnant look in the middle. No biggie, as this is an elegant example IMO.

Is the third/forward anchor needed by a Krag achieved by the front sling stud screwing into the barrel, or is there a thin band that I don't see in the pic?
