Back when I ordered my .54 caliber woodsrunner, I wanted a Cherry stock with some burl in it. They couldn’t find me one and after a couple of months I decided to go with a standard cherry with insist carving.
Bree with Kibler’s sent me a message a couple of weeks ago and said they had found a Cherry burl piece of wood and wanted to know If I still wanted it.
I jumped on it and swapped all the hardware off the old stock and put it on the new one.
It did not take me long to decide that I needed to order another barrel for the carved stock as I didn’t own a .50 caliber.
I was just getting started fitting the new brass to the old stock when it slipped through my hands and I didn’t have the butt plate on it yet.
It splintered off a big chunk on one corner. It was about an 1/8
“ deep so there was no toe plates wide enough or thick enough.
I finally found a piece of brass shim stock and it took me all afternoon but I got my mistake covered up.
