Finally got back to doing a little something on this 20g.

Buttstock duplication.

I originally planned on using a different blank for the project, but the figure was a little unbalanced from one side to the other.

Since that time, I had acquired a good deal of American walnut and in that bunch was a blank that was on the thin side, perfect for an 0 frame stock, and it had very nice even curl in the butt.

I opted for an uncapped pistol grip for the stock. Luckily I had an 0 frame top action stock around that was no where near perfect, but good enough to get a pattern out of. When duplicating, I left the top of the stock in block since I wanted higher dimensions than the pattern stock had.
