Wood
Thanks TA. I saw this gun displayed when I walked in a local gun shop, and you could see the wood and side proof from across the room. The gun was so stunning I thought it had to be reblued and asked them if I could disassemble it. No question...all original.
I use this rifle to show how the safety should be shaped when you look at it from the rear. Also note the subtle shading difference below the dished out section. Areas that I always look at to determine bolt shenanigans
