So I finally got the new beast out for pattering test. Man this spring sucked, my first time out shooting all spring. Anyway yet gun patterns well, however after shooting the gun was a little hard to break open. Also if you all recall my picture of the stock fit I was concern about the fit up. The stock (after shooting it) seemed to have a tad of play in it. I will pull the butt stock this week and take a look to see if there is an obstruction.

A no brainier. You done good. It may be choked a little tight, but that is an easy fix. Enjoy,

From the one pic, your top lever is considerably towards center. Which means the lock-up is wearing thin. Depends on how much you shoot it, if it will be an issue. The early Spanish guns were known for using soft metal.

My concerns with this gun is if you zoom in and look close to the stock to the action fir, there is a little space. Eventually I will pull the stock off and check it out. There is this also. It needs headed up with epoxy, although the sides look good. Perhaps they are handling all the recoil.
