Banana patch box orientation

[Eric Krewson]

My first southern rifle, I bought a patch box from Track, found it was way to long and cut it down a good bit, now for the orientation. I looked at a bunch of them, original and modern and think I have it right, what say you guys, I haven't started inletting yet.

It looks good to my eye.

I will second that. You got her pretty well centered on the butt plate and on the wrist and there is enough room to add your latch so I say it's time to dig a hole in that stock

That'll work. TN is my study, so your "shallow" crescent "throws my eye" a little bit.  But then if that were a deep crescent plate it would nearly catch the box-as some of them do.  It's a blend of splitting the butt and wrist, with regard to the lock.  So easy!  

Good work making it FIT your gun.  Show them parts who is BOSS! (and put 'em where they belong).

Looks spot on from here.She will be a nice looking one when you get  her done.
