    Did you get the cut off piece of butt as well, and has it still got the moulded Sharp buttplate?

    If it has and you don't need it please pm me and I'll buy it from you. I've been looking for a Sharp buttplate for some months.

    Oh... and they are rubber...

    Opportunity is missed by most people, because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.

    Upload your pictures to a host such as photobucket.com and then copy the link into your post.

    will you do a bare wood strip and then stain it all a nice dark oak or mahohany?

    Should come up OK I think in the end

    That looks great, can you post a picture of the whole stock to see the proportions, is the stock solid enough? I would like more updates and photos of its progress because this is what i joined the forum for. Great gun to save as well.
    I bet the wh77 is the worlds longest and heaviest pistol now
