terc,

What I can see of the grain is in the second photo, and that is admittedly very little. The mineral streaking that I see in no way aligns with what little grain flow I see. Very hard to tell from those pics, but I think I see evidences of the grain running parallel to the bore, not perfectly in line with the wrist, but certainly not following the streaking.

JMO from what I can see, SRH

May God bless America and those who defend her.
