May be expensive but still cheap entertainment.
All I can say is a big charge Steve, better too much than too little, especially from an entertainment point of view. When they built the hydro electric dam at Mountain chute the head pond flooded the town of Black Donald, (was a graphite mine till Whitefish Lake decided to break trough and flooded the mine) anyway the church had to be tore down. They got Vince Kennelly, (the local dynamite expert) to set off a charge in the building to loosen the nails, he used a whole case, (wouldn't be surprised it was planned) (it was a catholic church, he was united). I was a kid at the time but remember the carnage, don't think there was a piece of wood big enough to make a tooth pick out of.
Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.

So people don't think I've hidden it in the closet here's an update photo. My wood working skills lack a lot but I'm slowly getting something that may resemble a butt stock on it.

I'll have to post up another photo which will show the really fun part of doing this for someone that doesn't really have wood carving skills. ![[Image: butt-plate-1.jpg]](http://s1222.photobucket.com/user/Superdave257/media/butt-plate-1.jpg.html) I'm going to stick a couple more photos on here, the first one is the part that's really fun to get inlet into the wood as it wraps up over the top of the stock but has to be level with the wood when all the fats cut away. ![[Image: butt-plate-5.jpg]](http://s1222.photobucket.com/user/Superdave257/media/butt-plate-5.jpg.html) Second shows one side where you can see a gap which has to disappear the steel plate won't pull down and close it up. ![[Image: butt-plate-4.jpg]](http://s1222.photobucket.com/user/Superdave257/media/butt-plate-4.jpg.html) DA

Would it perhaps have been burnt in like a hot horse shoe originally ?

Get it red hot, pop it on to form the recess, tickle the wood with a sand blaster to remove the carbon, while you are there clean the butt piece as well. Job done and you can go out and shoot people :)
