Hi Guys

I have finally thought to measure parts of the gun to give you an idea of its size as well as weight. It is slightly shorter than Phillips example.

Weight 4.7 kg
Overall Length 59 5/8” 151.5 cm
Barrel length 48 ½ “123.3 cm
Stock length 11 1/8” 28.4 cm
Lock plate 10” 25.5 cm
Butt width 3 1/8” 8 cm

Cheers Cathey and Rex

Good.
In that case you may discard the possibility of this being a gun needing a resting fork or a wall as, with such length, it falls within the 'portable' shoulder guns range, hence your lecture becoming more concise

How did it go with your lecture, Cathey ?

Hi Fernando

Thanks to you and Phillip it went very well, I actually had to reduce the information. Again, thanks so much, I now know a lot about something I knew nothing about.
