A “point on the comb” can be a mixed blessing with any degree of recoil.

I had a Manton of Calcutta .500 BPE BLNE that had been quite tidily restocked in India.

The front end of the comb had been neatly finished with a pronounced corner, fluted on each side.It bit!

As it was not the original stock I had no qualms about getting it re-shaped to a less aggressive contour.
