[QUOTE="druryj, post: 3333245, member: 10465"] I am not yet happy with the finish on the brass pieces...so I am polishing away at them today while watching a British Cop Show, [I][U]Paranoid[/U][/I], on Netflix. Man, this is a lot of work, but I want my brass to be clean and shiny. Below is a pic of the brass [U]Stock Joining Plate[/U], which is used along with two long steel pins to join the rear and front stock together. It's thin. I wish it was thicker. So I came up with an idea. To understand what I am saying next, you need to understand that there is about 5/8" inch or so of barrel sticking out at the muzzle end, after the brass [U]End Piece[/U]. So you [I]could [/I]have a little bit thicker joining plate in between the two pieces of the stock if you wanted to without having a negative effect on the rifle's looks. I'm thinking about making a new, somewhat thicker [U]Stock Joining Plate[/U] out of either a lighter, or darker piece of wood, like ebony or maybe walnut, to use in place of the thin brass stock joining plate. The piece itself is small; like 1.5" X 1.5" roughly. I think I could trace the outline and use a bandsaw to cut a rough part out of a piece of nice wood, and use a Dremel to do the finish cuts. Then it would just be a matter of proper sanding to fit the fabricated wood piece in between the two pieces of the stock. Check out the pics of this [U]Brass Stock Joining Plate[/U] below and if interested, tell me what you think about my idea of making a new thicker one from a piece of good hardwood. You can see where the [U]Brass Stock Joining Plate[/U] fits between the two pieces of the stock just behind the rear sight, in the pic below of a finished Kentucky Long Rifle I pulled off the innerweb. Man, you gotta be careful searching for pics on these things...I was looking for "Butt Plate" awhile ago and [I]Sweet [/I]Baby Jeebus the things I saw!
