HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25529 Posts	Posted 01/02/2025 03:03 am Excellent, uruman! It looks more like a Blowhole than a lamination. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 01/02/2025 03:59 am this isn't a delamination. It's an existing pre-strike void in the stock.
