    Mention is made of the short spacing between the rear swivel and buttplate. I wonder if the wood surface under the buttplate is machined finished as one would expect or hand cut?

    If we look at the earlier version of this very same rifle in the other thread shown in post #4 you see there was an extension that has been removed from this very same butt and the round cocking piece/lady slipper safety have been added. Hard to say what else has been changed to make a factory original special experimental rifle original again. To be fair, no one said it was original and the other thread speaks of the changes.
    Regards, Jim
