Brian, did you use the original checkered insert under the skeleton butt plate or did you shape and checker the butt yourself?

What an outstanding result, if they looked like this originally I think they would have been more successful, and more expensive! Very nice!!!

Yes, I reused the original butt insert.

I did not like how light the back end of the gun was, so I added some weight to the butt in the hollow section of it and filled the rest with solid wood. Then glued the insert back on.
The weight of the gun feels much better to me now.

Beautiful work Brian! There's just something about a skeletonized butt plate and checkered butt to make a gun POP!
