lehigh wrist

[frenchman]

lehigh wrist is it wider toward the butt and flatter at the center of the wrist

Depends upon the particular maker and time period

For the "classic" Lehigh wrist (like Hermann Rupp, for example) the wrist is very narrow vertically, with the narrowest portion near the rear curl of the triggerguard.  You may even do the "dished up" shape, where the bottom line of the stock rises a bit right at the trigger to make the wrist even narrower.  The top of the wrist should be durn near straight, with very little curvature and very little drop.

Other Lehigh makers did things differently.

also keep in mind that Lehighs are not cylindrical in the wrist like a buck co gun.  Each one is different, but they do tend to have a "boney" feel to them.  More diamond shaped with the tops rounded over.

These are pics of my first Lehigh in progress. It's quite different than what I have done previously. Wrist will be wider than tall and will have a hint of diamond shape to it. EK once used the term " squashed ovoid" to describe the wrist which is starting to make sense to me. I also have slightly dished out from underneath the trigger guard area. Even though I have a C weight barrel ,this rifle will be really slightly built.  Final build will be John Rupp based design.
