Chief, Glenn and I like to have some fun yanking each others chain from time to time, so bear with me when I say that I had to change the "angle of the dangle" on the butt plate to fit Mr Fewless' sensitive nature. It did work out well however and should fit him very nicely now. Actually, it was my mistake so I fixed it.
There is a little story behind the butt plate in more ways than what appear on the outside. It's a "falsie" insert that Glenn make on his CNC mill and I final fitted. I used this same process on my Wesson and it works very well. The reasoning is that a person can add or remove weight as need for the rules and replace the plate. As crude as it sounds it's a 3 step process with Acraglas and in the end gives a very solid base for the plate and insert to rest on and it still looks nice.
The wood is a spectacular piece of black walnut, from Oregon I believe. The source will be nameless unless Glenn choses to tell.
