It looks well made and of that period too, nice work.

Well, 1st is the front sight. It swivels left and right with about 47-1/2 degrees of travel. Next is the butt pad. It swivels 180 degrees in case one needs to shoot upside down. It you believe any of this then go and read the jawbreaker post...... and thanks for letting me have a little fun.
