He took the Fajen Wood which is nice and converted the Fore end with wings to Corn cob style with Win M12 pattern on it and the Buttstock got changed from Pistol grip to English style strait grip with a standard point patter on both sides . $600 and one week to finish and it was worth every cent. I might add that it is not perfect and I can find every single flaw however the level of craftsmanship is commensurate with the quality of the gun, and the gun as a whole looks damn nice.
It would not have been appropriate to stipple this gun.
