The gun has a 15 3/4" LOP. Remove the 2" graft and most could shoot that gun. Add a nice 1" leather covered recoil pad and still more would be happy. A lot of potential with that gun for a shooter. I just find the step down in the barrel chamber area to be a big distraction. Still would be a fun gun to shoot and for not much over a grand a decent bargain. But it still French, ten lines of proof that tell you very little. The French proof house must have been paid by the letter.
