    Regarding the potential crack comment, some later Ishapore forends seem to be thicker than their earlier counterparts and stand well proud of the cheek. From your side shot it appears the rifle has the usual "Ishapore Screw" as opposed to the more substantial cross-bolt seen on many dedicated Ishapore Grenade Launcher rifles. I'd be happy to have that one in my collection as is and, when you get it to the range, you may find it's reasonably accurate in-spite of the EY status.
