Bruce, have you though of repairing that butt plate with Acraglass dyed black? Then dye the whole butt plate black. It may be almost be invisible. What have you got to lose!

You think it would have sufficient strength? The whole plate has to flex to fit back on.

I don't know how sturdy it would be. When I was fitting a new recoil pad (without the peak), I used Acraglass dyed black to make the peak. I drilled small holes in the pad, inserted a small length of toothpick in the hard plate of the pad, then filled in with Acraglass. It gave added strength and it's still holding in place. I don't know if you have enough width to do the same to both pieces of the butt plate. Just a suggestion, again, what have you got to lose?

Very well done. The wood looks great. Too bad about the DHBP

Thanks, Eric, and that is the point I was trying to make. About anybody can do a finish like that. No sandpaper was used except to sand off a little glue overrun, and no loss of detail was caused to the stock. Anybody can do this.

Nice job. Shame about the butt plate. Acraglass sounds like it would be worth a try. Thank-you Bruce for sharing your work.

Bruce, The pattern on those barrels looks great. Why refinish them?
