2-piper I've been on boards which would have ripped him a new axxhole from the start and gone up from there. Most shooting boards try to keep it civil as a rule. Otherwise it just degenerates into a dog fight every time and nothing new ever is learned or enjoyed.

I wonder if that gun was a project of one of the gunsmith trade school pupils learning different aspects of metal and wood working or a self trained home gunsmith. It would make sense for one of them to start with a low price platform. Or perhaps it was some guys pride and joy who decided to put a few hundred dollars into a gun worth fifty dollars at the time. Either way the level of work does not impress me that much. Makeup on a pig is still make up on a pig.
