Mike, Part of what you see is the angle at which I took the photo, part of it is the style that I chose to use for the front of the comb. This style is closer to the original than if I had layed the angle back like I do on a Fox. The drop at the comb and heel is also different than the original Dalys in that this is the gun that I use to shoot clays with.

Dalys or any of the Sauer actioned guns for that matter don't lend themselves to tang bending like a Fox does. Foxes as you know are simple inside and have a very simple safety. Dalys on the other hand have a sculptured safety that must have taken the gunsmith hours if not days to make.

I guess what I'm saying is that I chose not to do any bending of the Daly's tang. I'm probably better off for that decision.
