I have to agree with the general consensus, This gun is an anachronism of the first order. Whitworth barrels, Beaded bolsters, fully checkered ala AAH, and yet nothing in the way of the embellishments we love. Notice the fore end tip? It's almost as if there was a memo sent out that said "No Engraving Allowed" Reminds me of Fords made for the Mennonites; No Chrome.
