We cut this for a customers gun this week on the cnc mill. Would there be any interest in them if we made some to some standardized sizes?

Well...if you're looking for feed back...based on past demand in my shop, I won't need another for about 28 years.

Whatcha bet...It will either be too long or too short, too wide or too narrow, too thick or too thin....then "if only it had a spur on top"

Thanks for the feedback. We have been playing around with it in the shop, mostly for restoration stuff at this point. I have a few personal projects in mind for the future and figured that maybe I could kill two birds with one stone. Of course they can always be ground down, but I hear you loud and clear about whatever it is I make, it won't be what the public wants. Maybe at this point we will stick with the build them when needed plan.

Hey...I don't mean to be discouraging..you might start a new trend. There's a cynical side to me...

There's a market for everything.....some things have a larger market than others...

I'm a guy that don't allow anything but rubber on the butt of my guns as I consider it an anti-slip material and an important safety feature...

I wouldn't be a customer if they were free.....Nothing personal...just one guys opinion.

Depending on price, I might be interested in a buttplate, grip cap and forend tip.

tentatively, prices would be 95$ for a shaped and lined buttplate with 2 screws, 40$ for a grip cap shaped with a single screw. Fore end tips are available in block form(unshaped) from my supplier and I would be happy to put you in touch with him.

Just a question...how hard is it to checker or line horn versus ebony or walnut? Just curious.

Horn is a harder substance that ebony or walnut. We cut the lines on the mill. It is not hard to deepen them with a checkering file.
