Step one is to get the buttplate to conform to the butt in "the bend" of the butt of the stock. Next step is to get the screws in and get the plate to fit absolutely flat against the wood. I am good at both of those steps. However, you may consider proceeding from there as part of a refinishing job on the stock as this will produce the best fit for the buttplate. The final sanding of the wood will be done with the buttplate in place for a perfect fit.
