Best commercially available cows knee?

Oregononeshot · Oct 9, 2024

Hi everyone I’m looking for a cows knee for my 54 GPR. I haven’t been able to find much available except one on TOW but won’t be home for a few days to measure my lock to see if it will fit. Anyone recommend a good tight fitting cows knee for my GPR?

Have you talked to Cutfingers or Two Feathers on this site. Pretty sure they can make you one to your specifications.

I’ve been considering one on www.bvcolonialcrafts.com

pretty much one size fits all .... unless you have a wall gun

Looks easy to make one.

@Cutfingers makes a nice cow’s knee (picked one up on a trade), and here is an example with his photographs, https://www.muzzleloadingforum.com/threads/cows-knee.169979/, or if you are the DIY type, here is a pattern someone posted in past, though from my notes, it was suggested adding up to an inch or so to all the dimensions, depending on your gun.

I used a thick woolen sock that was extremely tight weave after washing and drying on hot. I cut away the top elastic part and the toe and stitched around the cutoffs so it wouldn't unravel. I heavily greased the outside of the sock with lanolin. I slide the woolen sock over the lock. when I need to shoot, I just pull the sock cover over the rear of the stock out of the way of my hand. It kinda becomes a cheek rest if you leave it forward.

I offer them made out of elk.
