And the way the lines meet the stock and carry on along the cheeks. Very symmetrical. Last edited by Tamid; 12/17/23 09:53 AM. Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

Back in the day it was common to have 20 gauges weigh more than 16 gauges of the same make since the 20 ga required more steel to be left to fit the same frame as the 16 ga,.
