The stock was carved from some American Walnut, by Frederik Van Breen. The original alloy trigger blade is still in the gun, and whilst it is no rekord trigger (and a little heavy) it still affords great accuracy. Lyn Lewington fitted a v-mach set up and fettled accordingly, which improved the consistency, power levels and accuracy. The action was re-blacked by Colin Mollow who did a cracking job. I asked Don if he would take it on,(already in his early 80’s) and take his time to re-work the engraving and build upon the original to create somethig that he would be proud of. Perhaps this had been a presentation piece? Who knows? The gun was originally engraved by Don blocksidege, but done in the style where the engraving effect cuts through the blacking to reveal the silver metal below (a very shallow effect). This particular gun has had something of a makeover.
