    Interestingly it's the first i see done that way. All the others stop just before the dial sight plate.
    The rifle i bought also stops just before the dial sight plate. The marks on the wood and the screw holes are clearly visible.
    So it would appear that there was at least 2 wrapping methods used. I find this interesting and useful.
    The muzzle is up on the two band pictures.
