So here you go everyone, following my question regarding what do Pig hunters want, I had a fair bit of interest in an idea for a cut down, suppressed lever action. To that end I got a brand new...

The butt plate being hollow needs careful sculping to get the fit right into the hollow. Quite a bit of time/patience later it is a nice fit. I like to file the waste wood away from the butt plate...
