Hi Joe,
I hope that you got my PM's, thank you for your suggestions on
the latch mechanisms. I am looking forward to playing around.
I've been accumulating, buttplates and stocks and actions, and
now I have some time to work on things. I agree that that round trapdoor
would look better checkered, but if the checkering pattern didn't have the
right spacing and wasn't aligned with the pattern on the buttplate it might
not look so good. I think that while the piece of round stock is in the lathe,
I might try and cut a border around the edge. That circular expanse might
not be a bad place for initials to be engraved
Fred
