Set-Trigger- Yes, the white line spacers were a joke. Sometime back, I joked with Mr. Fewless about one of his works of art posted on the double gun forum. The stock was as perfect as your first love so I teased him about an imaginary flaw.

mc- I taught myself to build a stock and read every thing I could get my hands on to try to learn about fit and finish. Someone, Jim Carmichale IIRC, said to always stock the wood a little proud to allow for shrinkage and future refinishing. Nothing wrong with wood a little proud but the height of the wood over metal should be even from top to bottom- which this isn't. Proud metal is a different story. It shows sloppy workmanship. This contraption has both unevenly proud wood and proud metal.

I'll shut up now and heed the opinions of my betters.
