doublegunshop.com - home Forums General Discussion DoubleGun BBS @ doublegunshop.com I hate to desecrate such a beautiful buttstock...

The goal is to have the gun fit properly and actually be able to hit a target...



I just received this one back from Mr. T (crossedchisels) and Steve Dalzell. Steve does most of the work now, I think. They co-authored a nice piece in last month's SSM.

A few months ago I asked a few members their preferred butstock extension material, and horn was the overwhelming choice! I let the stockers talk me into Ebony and I am pleased with the result. A " holowectomy" kept the weight at 6-12 and the balance on the hinge with the 28's.



Did the best I could with the lighting I have.

As extensions go, that one is very, very nice.

Interesting that the pores are not filled-is that by choice?

Quite nice.
I've always preferred a dark ebony like extension or suitable pad to attempts to blend similar wood to the original. I've yet to see one of the latter that works in my opinion.

Thank you for sharing
Nice touch on making the gun useful to you!!
Mike

Ebony is an excellent choice for that task. They did a great job and I like how it looks.

Looks nice.



I was also kinda surprised to see the little pin holes where the ebony meets the wood in the second photo.

Either Mr. Chizzle needs another power in his magnifier or you need to back off on the quality of your photos.....just saying.

Not a desecration if you couldn't shoot it otherwise. A desecration would be not shooting it. Pretty wood and nice fit. What gun? Gil

They look pretty darn filled to me.

Beautiful, but it will slip and slide on your shoulder even with the checkering, which will wear quickly. I think a pad would have been a better choice.
