a Jekyll & Hyde or the Two-Faced 458 custom Mauser

Back in June I bought a Walter Abe and another Brevex. Well, I also bought a Custom 458 built on a Portuguese action. I called it my Jekell & Hyde rifle or the two faced rifle.

Right side vs left side looks like two different rifles. As you can see in the auction listing, it had no checkering. I sent the rifle in July to James Clark of Western Hunter Classics - http://www.westhuntstocks.com to have the stock checkered and dressed up a bit. He refinished the stock, did a 4-panel checkering, and added a couple of inlays. He brought out the figure on the left side, but couldn't do anything with the left side. All-in-all it makes the rifle look 100% better than received. This addition makes six 458's in the family.

as always, your comments are welcome.

I bet Mark Larson could fix up that left side for you.

I'm going to leave it "two-faced" and rename it ... "The Democratic Rifle".

You just succeeded in pissing off the Nutty Professor.

He is a "Never Trumper" and one of our gun guys who thinks it is smart to support anti-gun Democrats.

Trusting Democrats with preserving and protecting the 2nd Amendment is about as intelligent as hiring a convicted pedophile to babysit your kids.

Dang that does look like two totally different stocks between the left and right side.
