[QUOTE="Lurker66, post: 2466697, member: 24459"] WOOD looks good. Do you have a 90degree carving knife/scraper/chisel? My butt plate took forever to get just right, quite an adventure removing wood in 2 directions and getting a close fit. For those that have never fitted a butt plate....It goes like this; remove very little wood, ink butt plate, put butt plate on stock, tap with hammer, remove butt plate, cut, file or chisel away ink marks.....repeat 100 times or maybe more to achieve perfect wood to metal fit. Took me 75...100 would have been better. If you can inlet for a patchbox, you can do a lock, trigger guard, nose cap, side plate, entry thimble and pipes. Same concept. Are you going to do any carvings or ornament work? [/QUOTE]
