I agree that starting over is the best option. Remember to measure twice, cut once....

Yeah. True. PA24. I'm getting the Evans re-stocked at the moment and I'm not running to another atm. I'll see how much shorter it is than the 1 gun (I don't think it's off by much) and either leave it or put a bit of wood on the end. Present point on re-cap taken but there are plenty of nice guns with a "wooden extension that isn't more than an inch long). T If it is only off by a little, like one inch or so, I would leave it alone....just use your slip on leather pad and forget it........no re-caps........It's not a barn gun mate............. BTW....pairs were not always 'identical' in every aspect........sometimes his and hers...... I have faith in you....... you will figure it out properly mate......... Cheers,
Doug

While Mark's work is just wonderful, I would suggest shopping for a nice piece of Turkish wood for an extension; something with very similar color and grain pattern. It's out there somewhere, just keep looking. When finished, it will be almost unnoticed.

JR John: Tony is referring to a Best, 7 pin S. Grant sidelock....not one of your Galazan RBLs. HaHa. It has to be done as in Best fashion.

I'm going to measure it against the one I had stocked to my dimensions if it's half an inch or maybe a tad more shorter I'm going to leave it As you say Best Grant...don't mess is probably right. T

Tony, might I suggest a leather covered pad. They are elegant and look right on a Grant.

Tony, why keep torturing yourself. Just sell me the first Grant.
