Very nice,TC.Looks rear good.I hope the white stuff in the first pic is because it is an old picture,it is too early for that! :? The gun looks good with that finish.I also like how you photograph with the red sheet,it makes the gun show up clearer.One question-that is on the newer lafette[tripod]-I know how the trigger works on the older German lafettes,how does it work/where is it located on these? Thanks. ---bil
