Yes. There is a radius on the Darne's grip that begins at the very front, i.e., no sign of a straight section. Try to picture how it would look if you tried to remove the round knob and convert it to a straight grip and you can see what I mean. Also, there is no delineation at the rear of the round knob ..... it just kinda becomes the belly of the stock.

May God bless America and those who defend her.
