But one thing I couldn't pull off was the capbox in the side of the stock for holding about 5 cartridges. That and Joe's little grip cap trap and I would have it all.
Joe, how does that darn thing go on?

Brent, I have one of the small cap boxes but decided not to copy Steve's treatment, at least not right now.
The unique grip cap is sold by Brownell's and the lid attaches via a 90-degree dovetail identical in design to the Redfield/Leupold style only smaller. These grip caps are offered in several different styles and shapes, both trap- and non-trap-door and they really offer a lot of engraving area plus unparalleled braggin' rights. One caution: a normal trap grip cap requires at least mid-level skill to fit properly but this one is more difficult by at least one order of magnitude. I suggest that you use a truly expert stockmaker.
This grip cap emphasized to me, once more, that I am still learning.
Regards, Joe
