Got the butt plate and nose cap from Track of the Wolf - no holes drilled, big casting leftover to file off, not really a big deal. I really like the buttplate, but I'm not gonna use the nose cap.
I got the stock in yesterday - from Pecatonica, the side in the pic is fairly plain, I think I'll add a patchbox on that side. The left side and top are really pretty nice, with figure. Stay tuned....
Well, I psyched myself up, ready to be very patient and do the buttplate. And I was. And I made a but cut right off the bat. I started not to post a pic, but here's the repair I'm making, we'll see how bad the finished product looks. I hope posting pics of my mistakes along the way with this project will help someone....View attachment 37495
After adding the wood back, I'll rasp/file/sand, and should have a decent match. Once I stain and heat, I think it'll blend OK. Even if it doesn't, this is a hunting rifle, not a museum piece.
