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?
 
@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.
