Thanks for the kind words. I left the forend slightly wider and flat on the bottom so the rifle could be fire offhand with the forend resting on the palm (metallic silouette style). The schnable was an effort to keep the forend from looking too heavy and blocky. I think it at least partly succeeded! That little project took me months and months to do. If I had done it for a fee, I would have made about a nickel an hour!
