Default Grade 2 with infallible trigger, 157474

The last time I went to visit Mr Dawe he pulled this grade 2 out with an infallible trigger. It was a project gun he played with a few years back and lost interest in. The engraving and screws were an absolute mess but the Damascus was nicely redone. The stock was fit but needed completing. I was intrigued by the single trigger and told him I would buy him out of it if he would finish it up for me. The stock was shaped to my dimensions and for fun I asked him to do a full coverage on the forearm. The engraving was retouched as well as could be and the screws were replaced. Funny enough the engraver not knowing cut the side screws as well....I like the extra touch! It will be a fun gun to shoot and is far better off today than the sad state it was in.

Silk purse out of a sows ear would be appropriate to say had you seen this one before.

Have a great day!

The selector position on the infallible is one of the best that is out there.

It is if you shoot from the right shoulder, not so much for a lefty.
