Yes, that is nice, needs a little shaping on the fore end tip to be better.

Steve, You should get a commission for posting this. I'll bet it flew off the rack at the speed of heat. Although trapdoors are not an area of interest to me the workmanship is stunning.
Put the rasp down! The fore end is just fine.

I'm also not a Trapdoor fan, but that's an extremely well executed rework. I like it a lot!

High condition trapdoors are a great basis for a nice custom.

I think it's a nice rifle too, but since this is only a fun discussion, I don't think the barrel should be an octagon along with giving the forend a bit more of a British feel. I'm thinking there may have been a little bit of an oopsie shaping the cheek piece, it doesn't seem executed like the rest of the stock seems to be. Still, it's nice, and might be a rare situation for a stalking safety on a trapdoor. Thanks for showing it.

It proves that lipstick on a pig can work...well at least some. What's up with the lock plate? That doesn't look that nice in my opinion. I see its pending, what was the cost may I ask?

The octagon barrel is one of the things I like best on a reworked Trapdoor! If I ever considered building one it would have to have an octagon, or half octagon barrel for my tastes.
