No the little round pieces at each side at very top of iron that blends in with what i call rails of barrels and forend wood has shape of rails.Bobby

To me it looks like the bolsters do not stick out further than the sides of the frame . Where as on any original frame the bolsters protrude out further than even with the sides of the action body .

You are correct Craig, those bolsters on all 0000-frame Repros do not stick out further than the frame sides, but you're comparing them to a 000-frame original where the bolsters do protrude out beyond the sides of the frame. Your answer is not the answer the judges are looking for and is not what makes this 0000-frame Repro rare, odd and unusual.

Bobby, I have to say that you have some mighty good eyes, are incredibly astute and also aware, but unfortunately that is not what the judges are looking for as those beads -- what you call "the little round pieces at each side at very top of iron that blends in with what i call rails of barrels and forend wood has shape of rails." are absent on all 0000-frame Repros.
