Only my gun has Pits in the first 10 In. broken stock, Some of stock parts missing, tangs and trigger guard bent. and buggered screws. This is the way I'am going to fix. Find someone to fix the screws, and I can restock the gun I have made the DOH at 2 In. with a Monte Carlo. 3/8 cast off. and original horn butt plate. I will take the gunstock to a duplicator first of September. I have several pieces of wood to use for stock. Must pick out one. Have French and English, and american walnut. This old gun is a shooter and it shoots good. Good luck with your project. David Last edited by long range; 08/18/14 12:45 AM.

Butt transplants are not something I offer but if I was going to offer them structural integrity of the head of the stock would be critical. I try to council my clients to not spend "good money after bad" as my mother put it. I'm not trying to change your plans for the gun, just curious is all. Great project! I at first didnt see a crack towards the head. Further inspection i see a hair line carck rear of the repair. I'd guess they were able to close any crack up which now is invisible.

battle Sidelock Joined: Jun 2002 Posts: 2,329 Likes: 96 Versailles	Originally Posted By: ellenbr I'm collecting some info & was curious if any & all could provide the width of the water table/frame at the hinge pin & radius/standing breech as well as the length. Any effort would be greatly appreciated. Kind Regards, Raimey rse Width at water table hinge pin 1.377 width across breech face 2.191 firing pin spacing is 1.055 not sure about radius.

I'd say the rest was performed inhouse by H.A. Lindner's mechanic pool. No worries on the radius as it was just a point for measurement. How long was the water table/action flats? Kind Regards, Raimey rse
