Custom Buffalo Classics

[Thorvald]

G’day from the land down under.

I am new to this forum,  pretty new to forums in general and new to CAS but I had a question so here goes. I am buying a Buffalo Classic in 45-70 for CAS long range side matches. Have searched the web a lot for info or pics of customised BC’s and haven’t had a lot of luck. From what I have read they are very accurate and affordable, hence my getting one, but personally they leave a bit to be desired in the aesthetics department. Any how I did a quick bit of photoshopping and came up with some ideas of how I would like mine to look, nothing terribly drastic but enough to make it different to every one else’s. My question. What do people think?  Constructive comments welcome, also do people have other ideas or pics of custom BC’s to share? In case it's not clear from the image I was thinking of a butt plate that came up over the tip of the stock like my Uberti 1873, pewter for end tip, barrel band, elongated for end and a tang sight.

Firstly welcome to GBO. That's some very nice mods. It'd take some doing but the result is 'slick'. NEF take note.

Welcome and I like your mods to the BC. If you're looking for a place to get that long forearm (not a Mannlicher Fred) go to Gunstocks Inc. They don't list it on their web-site but the do make them. I believe the cost is around $65 US plus S&H. Somewhere on this site I saw someone use a barrel band from a Henry that my help ya also. Good luck on your project. - Fanner 50 aka Gary
