Selous plates were not used as a stock repair but rather a preventative measure. I have a Selous plated Gibbs on my bench currently and I can tell you they were there from the start on this stock. It would be very labor intensive to try to repair a broken stock this way. I believe in the factory a buck was made to form the sheet steel over, the stock is fit, rough shaped and then inlet for the plates, finally being fixed in place by a multitude of timed woodscrews. No easy task and not inexpensive in todays world.

What exactly are you trying to accomplish?

Firearms imports, consignments
