I think the big arguement comes when assigning a C or D or G type to a gun when they are actually classifications of furniture from different time periods, and not a particular style of gun, you could take the same stock and put either cCor D furniture on it and aside from the hardware the guns would look much similar.

 yep pretty much . as i said though the G has a diffrent wrist  and i have seen some originals with very much smaller forstocks at the muzzle .
 but  i would agree with the C&D . very much the same just diffrences in hardwear

Beautiful piece of work! I like the fact it was built on the "feel" of the piece rather than stricly sticking to all the small details of a particular type. Once again beautiful gun. Both of you have the right to be VERY proud! :shake
