| 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.

| 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. Steve |

| 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. |
