Brass butt plate
« on: February 19, 2009, 04:25:40 AM »
Yesterday I work up more ambitious than I intended so I decided to do something about the ugly recoil plate on my Handi. Mine is a .204 so I did not need a recoil device anyway.  Found some brass plate and about 8 hours later came up with this. Now I feel better!

Ooh, that's purty!!   ;D

It would make a nice compliment to a brass forend spacer and triggerguard!!

Nice "handi" work!!  ::) ::)  I find this kind of thing very therapeutic!!
