Kiwi, Looks good. I don't think anyone will even notice that little bit of low area. After all, it is a battle rifle. It's bound to have a few nicks and dings! Take a look though at some other No. 1 forearms and see how they handled the area around the trigger guard. I'm thinking you may want to radius the outer sides to the flat area just a small amount. Fine sandpaper on a rubber block or wood block will do the trick. Salt Flat
