Nice colors.  Good fiberglass work (believe me, I've seen a lot of BAD
fiberglass).

The right hand grip looks interesting - is it custom to you own hands?  I
have short index fingers, so I shoot with my middle finger on the trigger -
straighter pull, anyway.

  Looks custom to me. Very pretty indeed. Paul, how'd you shape that?

What I can't quite make out from the pix is whether the barrel lines up with
the shoulder pad.  It is my understanding that such an alignment reduces
muzzle climb, facilitating repeatability (precision) of targeting.  From
what I can see, it looks pretty close.

  I'd guess no. There've been experimental weapons, from handguns to rifles, that lined up the bore with the shoulder pad, and yes, they reduce climb. However, they also tend to break bones and/or dislocate joints.

  Oh BTW Paul, the guys in alt.binaries.pictures.weapons would really appreciate your work.
