Does anyone know the contact info for Reeves Goehring or what shows he may be found at?

Cory,   Don't forget about Dave Keck.  He doesn't have the selection Reeves has but if he has what your looking for you'll save a ton of time filing.  Very soft, high quality brass.

Dave has some  nice stuff on there and a butt plate that is close to what I want with some modification.  I have already spoken to dave via e-mail about a stock pattern that fits what I want.  They have a great site and selection.

Actually you folks may be able to help me out.  If you have seen Mike Brook's gunbuilding tutorial page he goes through the steps to build a 1770s VA rifle.  It is on his regular website to.  Anyway, the buttplate he uses on it he identifies as one of Reaves'.  Do any of you know which number that one would go by?  I do not think I will be able to make it to the show which Reaves will be at to look through the selection.

The Virginia butt piece I use is #10.  There's also a corresponding trigger guard to go with it.  I think that's what you're looking for...

Give Reaves a call, and explain what you are looking for.  He is very helpfull and will probably know exactly what you want.
