Yes it does Dean. I think it's a 98-99% gun. Chuck is doing a letter that I hope to get in the next few days. I may drag it along to Las Vegas with me.

I sure hope the wrist of that gun has some sort of reinforcement. With figure like that, it is to be like spaghetti.

I would think that crotch grain running straight up through the wrist would make it ultra-strong.
In my experience of splitting firewood these last forty years, crotch grain like that is as tough to split or break across the grain as American Elm is. JMHO .

Crotch grain like that is very soft. The actual grain of that piece of wood is going directly across the stock. Stocks figired like this that i have dealt with in the past have been able to flex the wrist back and forth when the butt is clamped in a vise.
Pieces like this are best used on drawbokt guns.

I think that stock is beautiful and would be proud to own that gun. And I would never concern myself with it being weak in the wrist... Never. .

The number one rule of stock wood layout... straight grain in the wrist.
