Long time lurker, but this is my first post. I am collecting information and parts for my first actual all-built-from-parts rifle. I will have a ton of questions in the future, but still researching a little....
what does 'CH' and "CL' mean on a butt plate? Muzzleloader Builders Supply has Christian Oerter butt plates, just trying to decide which one I like.
I am not PC/HC, just want to have fun. Aiming for a kinda Christian's Spring/Moravian/Early colonial sorta rifle.
Thanks.

First, welcome to the site. There's much to be gleaned here and perhaps the most valuable asset is the inspiration one gets to improve upon his work.

Welcome to the forum. There is a wealth of knowledge here, that is freely given by the artisan members of this forum.

D. Taylor, Daryl, thank you both. I have read a lot of threads from both of you.

I'm guessing CH means comb height and CL means comb length. But then... I don't speak in "modern abbreviation speak".

Oh.....DOH! of course. Thanks RAT.
