other than the gun being built backwards that is one fine looking rifle!
i have a SMR in .45cal that is slightly nose heavy. i took off the toe plate and bored 3 .25 holes 2 inches deep. filled one with lead and tried for balance. needed the one and another 3/4's filled to balance right at the entry pipe. ymmv
i really love the southern mountain and Tennessee mountain rifles.
who am i kidding? i love them all!
the satisfaction of building one can hardly be matched by anything else. shooting them at 100 yards and getting 2 inch group comes close though.
