I've got a 63 Sharps sporter that came as a kit minus stocks. The original owner cut a piece of flat steel and screwed it to the butt. It's been that way for thirty or forty years as far as I can tell. Time to make it right! So...
What sort of butt plate would be proper for this old girl? I'm thinking a checkered shotgun style would be best. What do you think?
I had considered a crescent, but it seems most guys find them uncomfortable. They sure do look cool, thought.
And finally, where would you suggest looking? I've seen a lot of shops listed in the past and I should have written then down - recorded them somewhere - but didn't and now regret it. I know there's a place (in the midwest?) that's made molds from originals for all sorts of rifle parts, but I can't seem to locate it.
