I had/have the same problem, my big fat arms are too big and fat. I was fortunate enough to find a pronged buttplate made of german silver or some other sort ot alloy, so was able to bend the buttplate enough to spread the prongs enough to fit, sorta.

I cut out one to fit a long time ago out of wood and shaped it to fit and had some cast out of brass. Damn, they were heavy and didn't work on the Winchester pattern stocks. I want something that looks good and not too heavy.My buddy had a Marlin .22 lever with a pronged buttplate and it was really a good looking rifle but you had to be 10 years old to get the gun to your shoulder with the narrow buttplate.Looked great on the wall though.It's in a jewelry shop now and looks great on their wall too.

Michael, That Pope 3 finger lever looks like the casting that Paul Shuttleworth sells at CPA rifles. http://www.singleshotrifles.com/levers.htmlEnjoying this thread! Regards,Joe

I took the BallChester to the range this morning and tried a few different bullets at 100 yards. The Fuller bullet looks like it will work fine. A couple years ago I bought a 32-40 mould at action marked Carl Fuller, Carl lived in California and was the father of my late friend Bill Fuller of Cooper Landing Alaska. Summer is half over so I need to get my good Schuetzen out and do what I do when the weather is good. This will make a nice rifle for someone who is a traditionalist, on a budget and has the time to experiment.

Looks like a real "ELMER" with that hat.

Carl Fuller on the left, some guy in a big hat on the right. LOL, first thing I thought when I seen the picture was that it looks like the guy on the left has his laptop sitting across his leg and they are checking out their favorite shooting forums on the net. Then I thought wait a minute, how could they get wireless way out there in the boonies. John

Michael,
Do you know where those pix were taken?
Do I detect a holster on Keith's hip?
