Luv you Bob, not really, will fight your anti America agendas forever, but those are some much nicer blanks. Even if yours isn't in this batch, things are looking up.

I'll vote for 1-H (the first one), but 38 and 33 are just fine too I’ve bought a couple very similar to 1-H , including one from Cecil. They turned out spectacularly. One is on a Belgian 28 custom that belongs to my gunsmith friend Chris Dawe. The other is on a Sauer sidelock that Chris and CJO are in the middle of bringing back to life.

It was hard for me to move past 1H but after looking at them all - 1H.

At first I thought Mr. Cash was kidding about the original blanks he selected. Maybe just some fishing for some goofy comments from the normal yahoos. I see some better blanks , but many have one side figure, or one side with receiver grain correct, but the other side not so good. I agree with gunmaker that #38 could be good if the layout was flip flopped .

Cecil can include a matching forend blank. He had a room full of them last time I was there. If you change wood types you need to do both I would rather do three butt stocks than one with a forend. Often it takes me far longer to do the forend. Worse is the wood to metal fit is very long and right under eye. Nothing gets missed or hidden on a bad forend job.

For those of you who like # 38 but indicate you would "flip" the layout would you please indicate what you expect to gain by this.
#38 looks OK to me but not exactly perfect in the head & wrist & I don't see "flipping" the layout improves it much. I'm just trying to learn something here by people more expert than me about picking stock blanks.
Personally, I would pick # 33 from the pictures shown.

I wouldn’t use 38, period.
Best,

I just saw this thread on the Parker site. I think there is a problem in that two number 38's are shown. I think the lower one may have been labelled 33 in the other site posting. The upper one is the one I would choose. The second 38 has some problems, I think, in the wrist area and I wouldn't trust it. Number 19 looks really nice, but there is a not just above the wrist that may affect it internally.
