I am not remotely convinced the Forrest's CH is not original, and I don't think there is enough photographic evidence to suggest conclusively otherwise.


Note that i said the panel should be recessed. I did not say how much as i know there is variation. So, basically you are just supporting what i said???

I respect your thoughts that the subject gun may not be altered from factory specs. Can you tell me what your thoughts are on the near 90 degree angle of the checkering lines on cheeks and butt? And also on how fine the checkering is on the butt?
