Some sharp eyes out there. I'm not too worried about the pores. The gun is a well used DMB O/U 12 bore with a number of nicks, scratches, dents, etc. One of the challenges with altering these guns is what I understand to be an inability to bend the wood much due to the trigger plate mechanism. So the stockers had to sharpen their pencils to compensate for some dimensions they couldn't alter. They were concerned that the result would not be aesthetically pleasing, but my instructions were to prioritize fit over aesthetics. I'm happy and most importantly the gun fits great.
