Patrick, use the FAQ section on the home page link to Research Letters. Sometimes on very large orders the stock dimensions and weight are not written down in the order book entry. If the stock book is available, you will get this plus possibly the patterning info depending on how the book was copied on the xerox machine.

If your gun was made after Dec 1919, there will be no order book info because the order books ended Dec 1919 except for a couple of repair and credit books so if the stock book is missing there is nothing to base a letter on. The best chances to get both order and stock book info is if your gun was made between 1877 when the order books started and Dec 1919 when they ended.
