Butt Plate Surprise

[Bob Brown]

Gunner, that was Trevallion and McIntosh that had the chapter on the butt transplant in Shotgun Technicana.

I had an English stocked Winchester model 21 that Travallion left his name on and it helped when I sold the gun to the next owner. Excellent work the only way we knew the stock was replaced was because of his name was etched in the wood under the but pad.

I've only found two things besides dirt under a buttplate, the first was a small bundle of strike anywhere matches in the cleaning rod hole on a krag rifle and a picture of a woman circa 1900 glued to the butt under the buttplate of a drilling. I keep looking, you just never know.

I'm not looking to sell the gun but, if I was I can see where it might make a difference.
