Ayup. If you dig around the Off Topic forum there's a thread about it. Beautiful gun and stock.

They look like a good size lipstick. You can watch the round thru the sights travel downrange to deal with anything in it's path in a most impressive manner, mere paper is such a waste to that much kinetic force.
