That does not appear to be "claro" walnut (juglans hindsii) on Mr. Bernfeld's Repro pictured above, IMHO, it is a nice piece of "English walnut" (juglans regia). During my "Repro Period", I owned 6 of them and sought out the ones stocked in California "English" rather than claro. I used a 28" double trigger 12 ga as a "travel gun" on 3 African safaris without a problem.
