Afghan Jazail - Restored

Hi Rick,
Nice job, of course this will always bring up the difference of opinion within collector circles of how much restoration is too much and for that matter too little. For me your restoration has been sympathetic and very well done. Barrel lining is possibly a step too far for me with some of my pieces e.g. my Greek Kariofili rifle and my Caucasian miquelet rifle but for something that needs a ground up restoration and is a bit thicker on the ground I don't see a problem. Must be damn good fun to shoot

My Regards,
Norman.
