Yes! Great pic! I have not seen this one before. I'll save this in my library.
The Stands for these guns hard really hard to come by. There was an adjustable one that came up for sale about a year ago. But I was too late and missed it.
After firing the Afghan Jazail myself, I've come to a couple of conclusions the butt stock not only curves, but also tapers more thin as it reaches the butt cap. If you hold it under your arm pit, it's quite comfortable. And the butt cap does in fact seem to fit the upper most pert of the arm vs the shoulder. The Jazails tend to be barrel heavy, so that would absorb much of the recoil. And that has also been my findings. Rick.
