The stock
Even this decisive component of the weapon, decisive for taking us obviously, has been replaced by keeping the original walnut one that today we would define visually minimal, but which technically would never have entered into crisis, protected from damp, mold and woodworms. The current plant was created by the G. Fanfarillo armory, SS 155 Maddalena, 85, 03011 Alatri, using a walnut log that combines a basic price from times of crisis and an aspect that we find decidedly appreciable, thanks also to the refined shellac paint. The trend of the vein is in line with the recoil discharge and the shapes are agreed with the owner who has, as a primary objective, to rise above the 21-22 / 25. So everything is in this function with internal weighting, adjustable back and fore-end in which a niche has been dug for a corrective weight of the balance. As it stands now, the plate-breaking machine works well. We regret having to assert this only from a visual examination also documented by some images with shattered targets: between the agile physical structure of his friend and ours, which is not agile, he runs a lot, especially in the rifle bracing. and in the posture of the head for which we see not only the rib, but from the key to our right hand. It is impossible to shoot with some chance of hitting, but at least the feeling given by the good shots, from the attitude to the recoil, to the balance in general we have formed and it is very positive.
We will see in a next passage the evolution of the species: who knows if Darwin's theory is applied in this field too ..
