Do it again for the first time, well that's what I do.
I assume that's how they'd done it in the old days. Especially for a guy who didn't have a lot of spare moneyyou could fill the hole by peening in a piece of copper wire or brass rod , would be a little highlight and save the plate
A little pickle is better than a big pickle. For years around here I was know as King Pickle….just say’n….Been working on making the toeplate for my SMR. It's 3 3/4" long FWIW. The pickle is, the aft most screw hole that I drilled is just under .5" from the toe. The wood is only about .3" deep right there.
I guess I could just make new holes. I was just hoping to spread them out more evenly, and use 4 screws of the same size. It also means I'd need to make a new toeplate, which I'm loathe to do. This is the 2nd already, and dimensionally correct for what I was going for.
I’ve wondered that too. I think I’m the only one who ever built a Kibler smr and didn’t put one on.Why do you need a toe plate?
No, your not the only one. I'm planning to put one that I make on my smr, but I'm not certain yet. Jim doesn't think they're necessary. Boils down to personal preference and how roughly you plan to bang your stock butt down.I’ve wondered that too. I think I’m the only one who ever built a Kibler smr and didn’t put one on.
Grind or snip off the point of the screw until it fits correctly.Been working on making the toeplate for my SMR. It's 3 3/4" long FWIW. The pickle is, the aft most screw hole that I drilled is just under .5" from the toe. The wood is only about .3" deep right there.
