Well, now that we have all decided to play nice, I want to thank everyone for their input. In the course of all this interaction, I remembered a French gun that I repaired last year, broken through the wrist. I sold it to a friend shortly after I moved here from Florida. Times were tough as I had two houses at the time not having sold the Florida digs yet. I'm sure ya'll have been there at one time or another. I looked back in my files and sure enough, the gun is almost identical with the exception of the scalloping. I called him and he agreed to let me use the gun's stock as a pattern to start with. ( he should he stole that gun from me) I figure if I have the pattern made just a bit longer at the head that I can use the old busted part as a template to work with on the new unfinished blank. What do ya'll think about that?
