I'd rather tiller a bow in complete darkness using a bowling ball for a scraper than inlet another buttplate!!!!!

Eric was probably not exaggerating the 12 hour battle with his butt.

Just started another one, got a little work to do before I can shoot it. Hard to tell from the picture but this one is going to be an 12ga English fowler turkey gun with a 38", jug choked(full) barrel.

A little more on the work involved for a build.

The rear entry pipe was as challenging as the butt plate, looks like it would be easy but it was a real pain, 10 hrs at least to go from this.

Nice,...

I've been thinking of picking up an old 1870s Springfield trap door to hunt with.  Met a fellow about a year ago who collected them,..said he used to hunt with them.
