Mike, I once lusted after a Sharps with a pewter forearm tip like a young man lusts after his first Playboy Pin-up. But over the years, that I guess that lust has been tempered some.

I have a history of making god-awful, too big, too thick schnables on forearms and finding just the right shape has always eluded me. Of all the guns out there, I love the refinement of the Ballards' shape or the simplicity of the Farmingdale and original Sharps schnable, so I could and may do that here. But this is an M77 with some fairly fancy fiddle walnut (Claro?), so maybe something a bit more upscale is needed.

Anyway, I am casting for ideas. The pewter might go, but it would have to be a non-Shiloh shape.
