Poorhouse:

You will have a very nice rifle when things are finished. You are an ambitious guy. Just one question: Where in the world did you find that buttplate? I have been searching for one like it - similar to the old style G&H buttplates that were imported from Europe prior to WW II. If you or anyone reading this has one tucked away in a parts box that could be the focal point of a free market exchange, please let me know.

Again, thanks for sharing and good luck with the finish work.
