When I said I did not see the bulge, I don’t mean it wasn’t there...I just did not see it. I’ve missed things like this before (to my chagrin). I did not take the fore end off. I did clearly hear the gun cock each time I opened it. That was enough for me to put it back on the rack. But, Craig, it was a beautiful gun.
