Had my hands on a tiger maple stocked modern version about a year ago that I dang near brought home with me. It was exceptionally pretty and handled like a real rifle should. The two things that made me reconsider (only if I pried my eyes off the stock long enough) was the plastic parts and the bolt sticking out like it does. I hunt my guns and I kept thinking that bolt would constantly be hung up on something. Never having owned a T-Bolt I was unsure how big a problem that might be and got cold feet.

Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.
