The quality of these guns is amazing. They hardly ever shoot loose and, while some may question their aesthetics and grace, they are extremely servicable. Alot of time those used heavily in Europe were not taken care of but have somehow held up to the task. A good strip and clean and they seem ready to go for another few decades. I actually have come to like the cheek pieces found on most of them. The sling swivels, well, that's another discussion.
